Legislative Assemblies of the Roman Kingdom Legislative Assemblies of the Roman Kingdom The Legislative Assemblies of the Roman Kingdom were political institutions in the ancient Roman Kingdom. While one assembly, the Curiate Assembly, had some legislative powers, these powers involved nothing more than a right to symbolically ratify decrees issued by the king.
