Answer and Explanation:

One of the main subjects of the State was to promote internal and social policies in Jerusalem, which had a large number of the needy and the poor. However, it was necessary that these policies maintain a social hierarchy that would guarantee the security of the upper social classes, but that would allow the lower social classes to have some problems solved, but to remain in a weakened position. These are the circumstances that promoted Hurrem Sultana’s soup kitchen, which fed a huge number of the poor in Jerusalem, but was managed by members of the upper and privileged classes.
