The Twelve Tables
The ancient Roman republic in general terms fits the description of a republic in the following ways: 1. A balance of power between the Senate and the Assembly is the center of what defines a republic; 2. Elections were held to fill important official positions; 3. The Roman republic had checks and balances through the election of consuls and Tribunes;and 4. Written laws created what is termed a government of laws not of men.
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.
The Law of The Twelve Tables is the ancient legislation that was the foundation of Roman law. The Twelve Tables were the result of a class struggle between the Patricians and the Plebeians.

The assemblies were Centuriate, Tribal, Plebeian.
