The Constitutions of 1840 and 1852 Remain Intact and In Effect; the Remaining Constitutions Had Issues
Review by Amelia Gora (2015)
Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli's Constitutions of 1840 and 1852 remain intact to this day.
The reason being that the 1852 Constitution was never abrogated by Kamehameha IV - Alexander Liholiho; Kamehameha V - Lot; and King William Charles Lunalilo.

'The Constitution of 1852 served as the Constitution from 1852 through 1864.' The Constitution of 1852 continued on and remains the legal, lawful Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom/ Kingdom of Hawaii, aka's till today.
"It was passed during the reign of King Kamehameha III. It heavily liberalized the structure of the Hawaiian government compared to the previous 1840 constitution, introducing new elements of democracy into the government and reducing the influence of the monarch in kingdom affairs.
The 1852 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was divided into seven parts.
The seven parts were:
1. Declaration of Rights
2. Form of Government
3. Of the Executive Power
- a. Section I: The King, His Prerogatives
- b. Section II: Of the Kuhina Nui
- c. Section III: Of the Privy Council
- d. Section IV: Of the King's Ministers
- e. Section V: Of the Governors
4. Of the Legislative Power
- a. Of the House of Nobles
- b. Of the House of Representatives
5. Of the Judiciary
6. General Provisions
7. More Amending of the Constitution
The Declaration of Rights stated that the Hawaiians were a free people.
The Form of Government stated that Hawaiʻi was a Constitutional Monarchy.
The section "Of the Executive Power" declared the powers of the executive power.
The section "Of the Legislative Power" declared the powers of the legislative power.
The section "Of the Judiciary" declared the powers of the judiciary.
The General Provisions stated anything unmentioned earlier besides the amending power.
The final section allowed for amending of the constitution."
One of the most valuable parts of the 1852 Constitution pertains to slavery:
"12. Art. 12. Slavery shall, under no circumstances whatever, be tolerated in the Hawaiian Islands: whenever a slave shall enter Hawaiian territory he shall be free; no person who imports a slave, or slaves, into the King’s dominions shall ever enjoy any civil or political rights in this realm; but involuntary servitude for the punishment of crime is allowable according to law."
This is the U.S. version of the anti-slavery law which was passed after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln died or 13 years AFTER Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli passed the Hawaiian anti-slavery law:
Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.".
The following are other interesting articles in the 1852 Constitution:
39. Art. 39. The King, by and with the approval of his Cabinet and Privy Council, in case of invasion or rebellion, can place the whole kingdom, or any part of it under martial law; and he can even alienate it, if indispensable to free it from the insult and oppression of any foreign power.
41. Art. 41. The King’s private lands and other property are inviolable.
48. Art. 48. Whenever during the vacancy of the throne, or the minority of any heir to it, the office of Kuhina Nui shall become vacant by death, resignation, or otherwise, then the Privy Council, or the major part of them, shall, during such vacancy, have full power and authority to do, and execute all and every such acts, matters, and things, as the King or Kuhina Nui might or could, by virtue of this Constitution, do or execute. And in such case, the Privy Council, immediately after the occurring12 of such vacancy, shall cause a meeting of both Houses of the Legislature, who shall elect by joint ballot a person to fill the office of Kuhina Nui.

Sarah Vowell on The Daily Show: The ‘Annexation’ of Hawaii
This is absolute must watch. We’ve seen Sarah Vowell on The Daily Show before, and enjoy how she shares history with her dry wit and puts things in ways you can easily relate to. As Jon says, “I laugh, but I learn.”Well, now she’s written a book on Hawai’i, Unfamiliar Fishes. She describes the “orgy of imperialism” of the summer of 1898. And she nails it. Kekula said when it was over, “that was one of the most comprehensive statements on Hawaii ever presented in such a broad media.” A whole lot of very well-informed, engaged people watch Jon Stewart. And the way she explained it was a truth that many people probably heard for the first time. A lot of people will read her book. She explains the context of the Spanish-American War, the role for Hawaii as “a naval base for our forthcoming invasions,” the missionary family children who “overthrew the Hawaiian queen so as to hand the Hawaiian Islands over to the United States,” mentions the anti-annexation petitions, and compares the joint resolution as “the sort of law New Jersey would use to declare a day Jon Bon Jovi Day.”The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Exclusive – Sarah Vowell Extended Interview Pt. 2 www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor & Satire Blog The Daily Show on Facebook

MANY IN BODY ONE IN MIND!!we remain a neutral, friendly non violent nation.....and the State of Hawaii are actually identity thieves..........ramifications are many..... they cannot validate their existence...... many Hawaiians/kanaka maoli are taking it from varying perspectives.........for example, Keanu Sai, Dexter Kaiama, et. als. take it from a military occupation, aligned with Professor Boyle who is from the One World Order pushers......then you have Henry Noa, Bumpy Kanahele et. als. who have joined up with OHA - created by the entity state who is trying to validate their criminal existence......then you have other Clowns, including the Kawananakoa's, Akahi, et. als. who claiming to be the Kings or Queen's---there are issues of treason, etc. that comes with those claimants...............and then you have those who do tons of research such as others and myself with the documented evidence and have the Kamehameha bloodlines, and maintain the neutral friendly non warring status because we're also directly connected to Kamehameha thru Queen Liliuokalani...........and helping our people, kanaka maoli..............we're good to go.........operating and disregarding/exposing Clowns, Pirates, Pillagers, etc............thank you for your comment Joseph Rodrigues many of us are whistleblowers just like yourself and we too support innocents in the Hawaiian Kingdom and our friends around the world......malama ponohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIqx5_w-dnkJudy Collins Send in the Clowns
