Passed, as a proposition (7)

I believe the answer is:

adopted

(Other definitions for adopted that I've seen before include "Taken as one's own" , "Took under one's wing" , "Fostered - assumed" , "raised issue on behalf of others" , "Assumed (an attitude)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
