  Republican Roman Government
The Romans never had a written constitution, but their form of their government, especially from the time of the passage of the lex Hortensia (287 B.C.), roughly parallels the modern American division of executive, legislative, and judical branches, although the senate doesn't neatly fit any of these categories.
What follows is a fairly traditional, Mommsenian reconstruction, though at this level of detail most of the facts (if not the significance of, e.g., the patrician/plebian distinction) are not too controversial.

  Lex fori Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In Conflict of Laws, the Latin term lex fori literally means the "law of the forum" and it is distinguished from the lex causae which is the law the forum actually applies to resolve the particular case.
Sovereignty comes into being through a process of recognition by the international community in which a de facto state is formally accepted as a de jure state and so becomes the legitimate government with territorial control over a defined area of land and all the people who reside within its borders.
Hence, within the precise limits set by the lex fori, local courts may sometimes apply one or more foreign laws as the lex causae if the local politics, public policy and the dictates of justice require it.

The lex Hortensia confirmed this superiority of country dwellers. Therefore lex Hortensia de plebiscitis could not settle secession of urban dwellers.

 Gaius, The Institutes: The Online Library of Liberty
Whence in former times the patricians maintained that they were not bound by the plebiscites, as passed without their authority; but afterwards a statute called the lex Hortensia was enacted, which provided that the plebiscites should bind the people, and thus plebiscites were made co-ordinate with statutes.
A lex curiata was also passed to confer on a Roman magistratus his imperium, and similarly the Roman emperor derived some of his powers from leges, but it seems a mistake to suppose that in the time of the principate a single lex gave him his entire authority.
Finally, it is to be noted that the provision in the lex Aelia Sentia making manumissions in fraud of creditors inoperative, was extended to aliens by a decree of the senate passed on the proposition of the Emperor Hadrian; whereas the remaining dispositions of that statute are inapplicable to aliens.

It led to the reform of the Lex Acilia in 191 BC.
For example, if the current letter for market days was A and the year was 355 days long, then the letter for the next year would be F. The market cycle was a fundamental rhythm of daily life, and the market day was the day that country people would come to the city.
For this reason, a law was passed in 287 BC (the Lex Hortensia) that forbade the holding of meetings of the comitia (for example to hold elections) on market days, but permitted the holding of legal actions.

According to Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.16.29, public matters could not be referred to the people on market days under the Lex Hortensia, which is believed to have been passed by the dictator Q. Hortensius in A.U.C. 467 = 287, and so comitia could not meet on such days.

The expansion of this is uncertain, but, according to A. Michels, The Calendar of the Roman Republic, 74, there is general agreement that the "N" indicates that the day was a dies nefastus, on which legal actions could not be taken.
