Explanation:

• For the first question, the millet system in the Ottoman Empire was designed to allow religious minorities (such as Christians and Jews) a degree of self - governance. They could manage their internal affairs like education, religious practices, and some legal matters within their communities.
• The Janissaries were the elite military corps of the Ottoman Empire. They were initially composed of Christian youths (often from the Balkans) who were taken through the devshirme system, converted to Islam, and trained as soldiers. They became a powerful and influential part of the Ottoman military and political structure.
• The Tanzimat reforms (1839 - 1876) aimed to modernize the Ottoman Empire. These reforms included changes in the legal system (adopting more Western - style legal codes), administrative restructuring (to make the government more efficient), and attempts to create a more equal society in terms of citizenship rights regardless of religion.
• The imperial examination system in Qing China was a merit - based system. Candidates would study Confucian classics and other literary works. Through a series of exams (local, provincial, and metropolitan), successful candidates could enter the state bureaucracy. This system provided a way for people from different social backgrounds (although mainly the educated elite) to gain official positions based on their knowledge and exam performance.
