I HATE HOW THEY TOOK OVER HAWAII!
Interesting article for me to read as I never heard of this on all my years of public or private education. With the recent success of Eminent Domain being used by private corporations in the contiguous United States it appears nothing has changed.
Some sources of this page would be nice. Also, I don't know much about Hawaiian History but this article sound very pro-sovereignty--in other words, POV. JohnJohn 20:41, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
The comparison of Article 62 of the Constitution of 1864 with Article 59 of the 1887 Constitution is disingenuous. Article 62 deals with the House of Representatives, Article 59 deals with the House of Nobles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.65.77.28 ( talk) 06:23, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Removed "disenfranchised most of the native population" from the overview since the actual text of the constitution shows that it reduced the qualifications for voting, thereby extending the franchise to many native Hawaiians who had not previously met the income or property requirements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.65.77.28 ( talk) 22:44, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
POV: The article claims the Senate was elected by "wealthy" landowners, but converting the voting requirements to 2009 dollars shows that the requirements were not particularly high. 64.65.77.28 ( talk) 04:28, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
"The wealth requirements were removed during the short reign of Lunalilo in 1874" is unsupported by the citation, which states simply that Liliuokalani was unable to make any changes to the Constitution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.49.147.98 ( talk) 05:46, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
The campaignbox containing "Hawaiian Revolutions" covers part of the article text in the section "Rebellion of 1887". I do not know if that is an issue with the Campaignbox template. The military history style guide does acknowledge some alignment problems caused by the template, but I am unsure if any of the proposed solutions really address this situation.-- Rpclod ( talk) 13:17, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
At the time this constitution came into effect, native Hawaiians, both full and part, accounted for less than half of the total population, yet enjoyed significant electoral advantage because of the disenfranchisement of Asians. When the Hawaiian government of Queen Liliʻuokalani was overthrown in 1893 by Thurston and his co-conspirators, about 75% of ethnic Hawaiians could not vote at all because of the gender, literacy, property, and age requirements.
open until we find a source. The two-thirds statement was applied to 1889, so I will say that and source. W Nowicki ( talk) 22:38, 16 September 2010 (UTC) [[Category:Hawaii articles without infoboxes
I feel the name this is most well known as is; Bayonet Constitution and would like to usurp the redirect that that title currently is, to be the actual page for this article.-- Mark Miller ( talk) 01:49, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Finding sources for isn't easy. This mentions something in regards to the Chinese vote (it is assumed that a few Chinese gain citizenship during the period before 1887 and were thus able to vote).-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 01:28, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
