Wikipedia
The term caliphate (from the Arabic خلافة or khilāfa) refers to the first system of governance established in Islam. It is a constitutional republic, which means that the head of state and other officials are representatives of the people and must govern according to an existing constitutional law that limits the government's power over citizens. It was initially led by Prophet Muhammad's companions as a continuation of the political authority the Prophet established, known in Arabic as Khulufaa'u Rashidin or English 'Rashidun Caliphate (Rightly Guided Caliphate)'.
