Aims of the League: The Covenant of the League declared that the aims or purposes of the League were three: namely, (1) to preservepeace in the world, (2) to settle international disputes by peaceful methods and not by war, and (3) to promote co-operation among the peoples and nations of the world, so as to increase welfare and prosperity of these nations.
Constitution of the League: The League of Nations consisted of an Assembly, a Council, a Secretariat, along with certain Committees, and the International Court. Thus we find that the League had a legislative body, an executive and an administrative body, and a law-court, just like a State.
Yet it was not a State, because it had no police and no army. It had no coercive power and could not compel its members to obey it as the Sovereign States can.
