The senate and the assemblies were the two branches of Roman government. The senate was a consulting body, consisting of wealthy individuals who could propose laws, pass resolutions, and hold high profile trials. The assemblies, and there were several, were the bodies of voters who actually elected the officials. That is why/how Rome got its motto SPQR, which stands for the senate and the Roman people.

The Roman senate was a body of about 600 men. (No, they generally were not all present at the same time) Their function was to discuss and consult on various matters. They could pass resolutions and proposals for laws. The counsuls were two elected officials who presided over the senate. They could put forth proposals, they oversaw the voting, could raise an army, and usually appointed governors. The senate, as a whole, acted as the jury for high profile criminal cases.

Roman society was divided into the patricians (the aristocracy), the equites (equestrians) who were bankers, money lenders, merchants and investors in shipping and mining, and the plebeians (the commoners). there were also slaves and freedmen
The senate was composed of patricians, the aristocrats. However, some historians think that some non-patricans also sat in the senate. The senate was the king's advisory body. There is no record of conflict between the senate and the king for the first four kings. The fifth king doubled the size of the senate and there may have been concerns among the senators as a distinction of rank was created between the old and new senators. However, the reform went ahead. The senate was said to have opposed the succession of the sixth king. This king drummed up popular support counter the senate and had himself elected as king by the popular assembly despite the opposition of the senate. He also made reforms which may have weakened the position of the senators. The seventh king seized power with a coup d' etat and was a tyrant. He turned against the senate because it could be a source of opposition and decimated the senators. His tyranny led to a rebellion which overthrew the monarchy and established the republic.
During the period of the Roman Republic the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic) and the senate claimed that they governed on behalf of the people. The emblem of the Republic was SPQR, which meant the Senate and the People of Rome (Senatum Populusque Romanum). In reality the Republic was an oligarchy. The Consuls were elected by the Assembly of the Soldiers, which had a voting system which favoured the rich, who had a much larger share of the vote and voted first, which meant that the resolutions were usually determined before the poor even had a chance to vote. The senate was not an elected body and was composed of aristocrats and rich commoners who were former executive officers of state.

During the period of the Roman Republic the senate was the advisory body of the consuls, the two annually elected heads of the Republic. It debated on policy matters and issued policy recommendation. It also advised on the drafting of bills. In some circumstances it could issue decrees. The Assembly of the Soldiers (which gathered the Roman soldiers) elected the higher officers of state; the consuls, the praetors and the censors. The Assembly of the Tribes (which gathered all Roman citizens) elected the lower officers of state; the aediles and the quaestors. The Assembly of the Soldiers voted on war and peace. The two assemblies also voted on legislation. During the period of rule by emperors the assemblies disappeared and the senate was emasculated.
