Today, the number of people who advocate that Ottoman-Turkish modernization produces neopatrimonialism is considerably high. The patrimonial management style of the Ottoman is shown as a reference to the proposed opinion. On the other hand, some thinkers say that rationality is dominant in Ottoman management. This study aims to reveal the character of the Ottoman management system with an objective approach. For this, the concepts and categories in Weber's sociology followed. Explanations made within the framework of ‘rational legislative activities’ are among the essential rational management indicators. According to the findings, it is possible to argue that the Ottoman management system was not patrimonial.
