The popular assemblies did not govern Rome. During the period of the Roman Republic (509-27 BC) they were voting bodies. The Assembly of the Soldiers voted on war and peace and elected the senior executive officers of state (the consuls, praetors and censors). The Assembly of the Tribes elected the junior officers of state (the aediles and the quaestors). The Plebeian Council elected the plebeian tribunes. In the Early Republic, the Assembly of the Soldiers voted on bills. Later this role was taken over by the Plebeian council.
The government of Rome was made up of the five types of officers of state mentioned above. Except for the censors, who were elected every 18 months, they were elected annually. They acted independently within the remit of theory offices. The Republic did not have a centralised government, like an administration or a cabinet. The consuls were the heads of the Republic.

Prior to 212 AD the conquered peoples in the Roman Empire were not Roman citizens. In that year the emperor Caracalla extended Roman citizenship to all the free men ion the empire. Slaves were not given citizenship. Before this, the Romans often granted Roman citizenship to elite men of their allies or conquered peoples who showed loyalty to Rome.

No assembly of Roman citizens governed Rome. During the period of the Roman Republic Rome was governed by five types of officers of state: the consuls (the two heads of the Republic and the army), the praetors (chief justices and military commanders) the censors (who conducted the census, oversaw public morality, commissioned public works and enrolled the senators) the aediles (who performed many administrative duties) and the quaestors (the treasurers). They were elected annually except for the censors, who were elected every 18 months. The Roman Republic had three popular assemblies. The assembly of the Soldiers elected the higher officers of state, voted on war and peace and voted on bills. The Assembly of the Tribes (voting districts) elected the junior officers of state and voted on some bills. The Plebeian Council elected the representatives of the plebeians (the plebeian tribunes) and in the Late Republic it became the body which voted on most bills. During the subsequent period of rule by emperors, Rome was governed by the emperors, who were absolute rulers. The popular assemblies were divested of their powers and eventually decayed.

There was not a popular assembly which governed Rome. During the period of the Roman Republic there were three popular assemblies. They met to vote, not to govern Rome. The Assembly of the Soldiers voted on bills proposed by the consuls, and on war and peace. It elected the higher officers of state: the consuls (the two heads of the republic), the praetors (the chief justices) and the censors (who held the census, enrolled the senators, oversaw public morality and commissioned and funded public works). The Assembly of the Tribes (administrative districts) elected the lower officers of state: the aediles (officers who performed a wide range of administrative duties) and the quaestors (the treasurers). The Plebeian council elected the plebeian tribunes (the representatives of the plebeians and chairs of this assembly) and voted on bills presented to them by these plebeian tribunes. The Roman Republic was governed by the mentioned officers of state, who were elected annually, apart from the censors who were elected every 18 months. There was not a centralised government like an administration or a cabinet. Each officer of state acted independently within the remit of their office. The two consuls were the heads of the Republic.
The Romans were very patriotic.
All Roman citizens were freeborn. Therefore, slaves were not citizens. However, freedmen (liberti, singular libertus) acquired Roman citizenship. If you had free status you could become a Roman citizen on the ground of permanent residence. At one point the majority of Roman citizens in the city of Rome were freedmen and their descendants.
