This article mentions some of the wealthy individuals and companies that are contributing to the Arizona initiative to impose a top-two system in that state.
Your sentence should read “contributing to the Arizona initiative that would reform the primary system in that state by replacing the partisan primary with a Top 2 Open Primary.”
“impose” implies an outside force, but no such force exists when an initiative is used.
#1, “reform”, as an adjective for the top-two system, was removed from the California voters pamphlet and the ballot by the California State Court of Appeals in 2010. The opinion said “reform” implies improvement.
reform
2: to put an end to (an evil) by enforcing or introducing a better method or course of action
The appeals court did not decide that “reform” was inaccurate, but simply that the ballot should be more neutral.
How about *change* — to whatever ???
See the Obama 2008 election stuff.
What about the 13th-14th-15th Amdts in 1864-1870 ???
Any sort of imposed stuff — by the points of Union Army bayonets — after the imposed stuff in April 1861 — i.e. Confeds shelling Fort Sumter ??? Duh.
