There were several assemblies in Rome. The assembly of the soldiers elected the higher officers of state (consuls, praetors and censors) voted on going to war, and acted as court of appeal for treason and death penalty cases until Sulla crated a special jury in 82 BC. The assembly of the tribes elected military tribunes with consular powers and the lower officers of state (qaestors and curule aediles) voted on laws, except those on war and acted as court of appeal for other cases again until Sulla created a special jury. The plebeian councils elected the plebeian tribunes and plebein aediles and voted on laws called plebiscites which originally were binding only on plebeians and later were made binding on all citizens.

There was also another assembly, the comitia curiata, which was the original one which is said to be dated back to Romulus and which elected the kings. This assembly was retained when the assembly of the soldiers and the assembly of the tribes were created under the 6th king but it lost its political significance. Under the republic, It retained the power to confer imperium (command) to the officers of state with imperium after they had been elected, it made decisions of religious matters and on questions of family relations. It decayed by the 3rd century.
