ASalamOElaikum!
Two stories of our Khulafa:
Hazrat Umar RA:
During the time of reign of Hazrat Umar RA judicial system was in full working. Once shawls were given out in the whole region(or may be a city) to almost everyone, one shawl for one person. People sitting in a gathering saw that Hazrat Umar RA had two shawls on his shoulders and one of the woman stood up and questioned Hazrat Umar RA, the khalifa-e-waqt, that everyone has 1 shawl, how come you being the Khalifa wear 2 shawls. Hazrat Umar RA was answerable to everyone and told that it was his son Asim's shawl he had on his other shoulder.
Hazrat Ali RA:
Once Hazrat Ali was walking in the market place when he saw a shield, which had been stolen from him a while ago, in the possession of a Jew. Hazrat Ali approached the Jew and told him that the shield belonged to him. The Jew, however, refused to give it back to him saying that it was his. Hazrat Ali decided to take the case to court. The Muslim judge of Kufa at the time was Shuraih, who had been appointed by Hazrat Ali himself. Hazrat Ali requested Shuraih to settle the dispute between them.
The following discussion took place in the court.
Shuraih : "O Ameerul Mumineen, what is your claim?
Ali : "This shield belongs to me. It was stolen from me a while ago."
Shuraih : "What do you have to say, O Jew?"
Jew : "What a grave liar is the Ameerul Mumineen! The shield is mine."
Shuraih : "Ali, do you have any witnesses?"
Ali : "Yes. Hasan, my son and Qunbar, my slave.
Shuraih : "The testimony of your slave is accepted but your son cannot testify in your favour."
Ali had lost the case. He turned to the Jew, saying : "You may keep the shield."
Jew : "The Ameerul Mumineen brought me to a Muslim judge and he is pleased with the judgement passed against him! You have spoken the truth, O Ali. The shield was yours all along. I had picked it up one day after you dropped it. I declare that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his messenger."
Ali gave the shield to him anyway. He remained faithful to Ali from then onwards until he was killed in the battle of Siffin.

In first case, Hazrat Umar RA the reigning caliph was answerable to his people upon having extra from what his people had. The freedom of rights and freedom of Law was conducted under reign of all Khalifas.
In second, courts were so independent they can pass a ruling against the reigning caliph Hazrat Ali at that time.
Are Ahmadi khulafa answerable to anyone? People under there reign are dying of threats while they themselves live and enjoy life under Westerners.
Ahmadi people in pakistan are living hand to mouth while their khalifa enjoy a mercedes. In US incident Khalifa took out people of his own choice and allowed the rich to remain with jama'at, isn't he answerable to anyone? Can any Ahmadi answer!
