	Roman assemblies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike legislatures in countries such as the United States, the Roman assemblies were seen to embody the People of Rome, not merely being an appointed body of representatives, and thus possessed ultimate legislative powers, including the ability to pass ex post facto laws and bills of attainder.
		The Centuriate Assembly, originally a military assembly of equities, had to meet outside the pomerium of Rome on the Campus Martius since no army was permitted inside the pomerium.
		The Tribal Assembly met in the well of the Comitia in the Forum Romanum, and elected the aediles curulis, the quaestors, and the military tribunes (tribuni militum).

		This region is populated mostly by the indigenous Aymara and Quechua peoples, and it is these indigenous peoples who constitute most of the population of El Alto and the membership of the trade unions as well as the peasant unions.
		The use of the word “originaria” in the name of a popular assembly is thus a very far-reaching assertion that this is the true and legitimate expression of the sovereign Bolivian people, and is tantamount to an open declaration of insurrection.
		It is a question of organizing working people, ordinary people, and people who do not live off the labor of others and having them take into their own hands the control, use, and ownership of collective and communal wealth.

		Now that true democracy has miserably failed on a federal, state, and local level to represent the people, the time is ripe to create a Peoples Assembly, that truly uses Democracy as a decision making process.
		By including all the people excluded by the government, it would be easy to soon be involving more people than go to the elections.
		People should be allowed to represent themselves (such as at a New England style town meeting), or to choose any person to represent their vote.

	poetpiet´s souvereignty list exchanges
		Such an Assembly would be the kind of globally governing empowerment that seeks, without sacrificing its legitimate sovereignty grounded in the will of the people, to maintain a pluralism of functions and loyalties in the lives of all citizens.
		The Assembly would seek to diversify and decentralise its own administrative operations and to relate these, as closely as possible, to the forms of spontaneous aggregation that are the natural outgrowths of human needs and desires which have relevance to the economic, educational, and religious aspects of culture.
		Although, logically, a peoples assembly would be the result of NGO involvement with both the UN and the world's largest metropolitan cities, it must also be the result of ideas and opinions of all the Earth's people.

		The focus of an effort at renewal must be the working class and the social movements as a whole, not merely organized labour, which represents only a minority of working people and encompasses only one (very important) dimension of their lives.
		One step some within the CD collective have been discussing is establishing local “peoples’ assemblies.” They could be organized at the city level, at the county level in rural areas and on reserves, and linked through a national coordinating committee.
		It seems clear from both historical experiences and current struggles that such assemblies (or councils) are necessary expressions of the political capacity of the Left to advance social struggles.
