Construct an adequate history that illustrates the environment that prompted the bill or proposition.
Describe the essential changes that the bill or proposition proposes to make to existing law.
Summarize the contending arguments to the bill or proposition.
Describe the partisan and interest group divisions over the bill or proposition. Who benefits or loses? How important was the bill or proposition to the interest groups seeking its passage or defeat?
Explain the bill(s) or proposition(s) legislative or voter’s fate (success/failure) or, if they are still pending, your prediction of their future prospect of success or failure.
