In the Roman Republic, laws were passed through a combination of popular assemblies and the Senate. Citizens could propose laws in the assemblies, where they would be debated and voted on; if approved, they would become law. The Senate, primarily composed of patricians, also played a significant role in shaping legislation by advising on laws and making recommendations. Ultimately, both citizen participation and senatorial influence were essential in the law-making process of the Republic.

The phrasing is unclear. The form of government which preceded the Roman Republic was the Roman Monarchy. The Republic was followed by rule by emperors.

Assemblies do not have written codes of laws. Laws are matters for magistrates and courts, not assemblies. Codes of law are things such as civil law, criminal law, and constitutional law. What assemblies have are procedures regarding debating, voting and other business they might carry out. Also note that Rome had three assemblies: the assembly of the soldiers, the assembly of the tribes, and the plebeian councils.
