It depends how you read this question.

If by the "the Caliphs" you are referring to the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs, they were followed by Mu'awiya, the founder of the Umayyad Dynasty of Caliphs. If you are referring to the Caliphate as an institution, it was abolished in 1924 by the Republic of Turkey. However, most Muslim countries had operated with sovereign governments during the period of the Caliphate (in much the same way that most Catholic countries are not directly ruled by the Pope) and even the Caliph in the Ottoman Empire was purely a religious authority since the Ottoman Sultan wielded political power.

What was the job of both early and later caliphs?

Early and later caliphs served as both political and religious leaders in the Islamic community, acting as successors to the Prophet Muhammad. Their primary responsibilities included administering justice, upholding Islamic law (Sharia), leading military campaigns, and promoting the spread of Islam. They also managed state affairs, collected taxes, and maintained order within the rapidly expanding Muslim empire. Over time, the role of caliphs evolved, with later caliphs often becoming more centralized rulers with significant political power.
