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 Roman Republic's set of laws is known as the Twelve Tablets or sometimes called the Twelve Tables. However other laws were added over time; but the Twelve were the original.

During the Republic, the basic legal code was the Laws of the Twelve Tablets. Over the years these laws (and we don't know all of them) were reinterpreted, changed, and loopholes were found, but the basic rights of an individual remained the same.
During the republic the government was headed by the consuls. They also commanded the army, but other officials, called praetors, could also raise and command an army. Governors of provinces also had this right.
Roman codes of laws were the Law of the Twelve Tables of 450 BC, the Gregorian Code (Codex Gregorianus) of 291- The Hermogenian Code (Codex Hermogenianus) of 291-4, the Theodosian Code (Codex Theodosianus) of 429 and the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law) also dubbed the Justinian Code of 534.
The Roman republic was created after ousting the Etruscan king, Tarquinius Superbus (Teraquin the proud). The Roman senate wanted to ensure no such dictator could reign in Rome again.

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.

During the period of rule by emperors, the emperors issued the laws.

No group wrote laws in the Roman Republic. The consuls (the two annually elected heads of the republic) proposed laws which were voted on by the poplar assemblies: the Assembly of the Soldiers and the Assembly of the Tribes (voting districts) and the plebeian tribunes (the representatives of the plebeians) proposed laws which were voted on by the Plebeian Council (the assembly of the plebeians).
