Corrections[edit]

@FoolsWar: I don't know whether you're still working etc on this image etc. But would it be possible to correct the misspelling of Quaestor? Note also a few other things:

The operations of the censors are not subject to veto by praetors and consuls.^[1]
The tribunes also could veto, through intercessio the actions of magistrates.
In "comitia centuriata", the word "aristocratic" should be replaced with "timocratic". The assembly was weighted towards wealth, not towards the aristocracy.
In "comitia tributa", the tribes were not geographic. They were an inherited status. They may have been geographic when they were first created, but if someone moved, the tribe moved with them. Eg if I am of the tribe Stellatina (one of the rural tribes) and I move to the Aventine within the city, I keep voting with the Stellatina.
It is probably worthwhile to note that the concilium plebis is the main legislative assembly.
The plebeian aediles don't aid the tribunes in their duties by the middle and late republic. They do the same thing the curule aediles do: put on games, ensure the city is well maintained, supervise the fire brigade, prosecute people for lawbreaking.
