Answer:

Concilium Plebis

Step-by-step explanation:

The Concilium Plebis, or Plebeian Council, was the name given to the main assembly of the Roman Republic. This council was formed by plebeians in order to ensure that they could obtain political rights. The council was able to pass laws, elect magistrates and try judicial cases. It operated in a similar way than a modern legislative assembly. The Plebeian Council could only be convoked by the Tribune of the Plebs.
