Proposal vs proposition
Hi,
Is there a case when proposition(noun) and proposal (noun) have the same meaning and interchangeable?
If yes, please give me examples
If not, how can we distinguish them?

Hi,
1/His proposal that the system should be changed was rejected.
=His proposition that the system should be changed was rejected. ?
2/ To submit a proposal = To submit a proposition. ?
3/ I'd like to put a proposition to you. =I'd like to put a proposal to you. ?
