What is the code of laws created by the roman republic?
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 patricians were the only ones who had access to the few laws that were written down. These circumstance did not please the plebeians, who were not only denied justice in most cases, but were also denied the opportunity to advance themselves. Plebeian work strikes and protests, such as leaving the city and camping out on the Advantine hill, were the methods that were used to force the patricians to cede power and to change the government by giving the plebeians more of a say.

In 451 BC it was agreed to appoint a suspend the constitution and the magistratures (offices of state) and to appoint a ten-man commission (decemvirate or decemviri in Latin) to govern Rome with consular powers for one year and to draft a body of laws. The commission was called deciemviri legibus scribundis (ten men to write the law). All the magistrates (officers of state) resigned. The decemviri produced ten bronze tablets of laws. It was felt that two more tablets were needed to have a complete body of law. A second decemvirate was instituted for this. The final product is called the Law of the Twelve Tables.
