Religion played a central role in the Ottoman Empire. Islamic Law, known properly as Shari'a, was implemented throughout the Ottoman Empire and formed the basis for societal organization. In addition, Ottoman subjects who were non-Moslem were identified and represented by Millets. These Millets were representative councils whose membership consisted of all people who were of the same ethnic religion. (For example, all Greek Orthodox were under one Millet and all Armenian Apostolic Christians were governed by their Millet.)
