Which of the following statements best expresses the argument Alexander Hamilton is making in the quotation below? “Laws are a dead letter without courts to expound and define their true meaning and operation.” —Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist No. 22, 1788

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.
