Best Answer

The Caliphate is the first government of Islam, which in theory would be considered a constitutional republic. It was headed by the Caliph, the head of state, and other officials who are representatives of the people, and they were required to govern based on a written constitution limiting the powers of government over citizens. The first Islamic Caliphate was headed by the Prophet's disciples as a continuation of the government established by him.
