The Ottoman Empire practiced a system known as "millet," which allowed religious minorities, including Jews and Christians, to govern themselves in matters of personal law and maintain their own religious practices. While they were generally tolerated and given a degree of autonomy, these groups were subject to certain legal and social restrictions, such as paying a special tax called the jizya. Overall, the Ottomans aimed to maintain social stability through this system, balancing the integration of diverse communities with the overarching authority of the empire.
