Excerpt from Roster Legislatures of Hawaii, 1841-1918: Constitutions of Monarchy and Republic Speeches of Sovereigns and President The first declaration of the creation of a law-making body is contained in a proclamation by the King dated October 7, 1829. It named the King and regent and ten chiefs as entitled to sit in Council. This council was the forerunner of the legislature proper. Previous to its establishment the laws were mostly customary, many having their origin in the edicts of early Kings. General laws were made by the King and subordinate laws by the chiefs for their respective jurisdictions. Important laws were proclaimed by the King after consultation with his counsellors, the high chiefs, who formed a sort of embryo legislative body. They were made known by heralds, and preserved by a class whose sole duty was to memorize, teach and hand them down to succeeding generations. The first law printed and published was one relating to the entry and clearance of vessels, the desertion of seamen, and harbor and pilot dues at the port of Honolulu, dated June 2, 1825. With the uniting of the islands under one government by Kamehameha I, the country was divided into four parts, corresponding in the main with the former Kingdoms, and governors were appointed over them, who had legislative and other powers almost to the extent of the Kings whom they succeeded. Due to the weakness of his son and successor, Liholiho, Kamehameha I established the office of Premier, or Kuhina Nui, as it was called, the occupant of which had power almost equalling that of the King and a veto power over his acts. This office was abolished by the Constitution of 1864. Four high chiefs were selected as special counsellors, as were also "four wise men" to assist in the deliberations of the council; others were called in from time to time, and on important occasions the governors and high chiefs from the other islands were summoned to a National Council. Following the arrival of the missionaries, and as their teachings and influence began to be felt, the chiefs and the more intelligent of the common people began to realize that they must have more definite and enlightened laws, if they were to maintain themselves as a nation in contact with a superior white race. The weakness of Kamehameha II, and after his death in 1824 the youth of his successor, were primary causes favoring a growth in power of the council of chiefs, which power was gradually assumed; the council grew in importance as a lawmaking body, and more salutary statutes began to be made. During this period efforts were made to instruct the people in regard to contemplated laws, and in some instances those enacted were more in the nature of advice than of strict law. Advance notice of proposed laws was given as late as 1838. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The remains of Kaniakapp--King Kamehameha III's summer residence--bear no traces of the feast that once served ten thousand of his subjects gathered in celebration of Hawaiian sovereignty. Although not all historic Hawaii residences are still standing, the pictures, photographs, and comprehensive maps in this book can provide a wealth of knowledge. Discover the site of Queen Ka'ahumanu's death, Princess Ruth Ke'eliklani's house, which rivaled the splendor of King Kalkaua's official palace, and Lili'uokalani's home, where Robert Wilcox plotted an armed insurrection to overthrow the Constitution of 1887. Using accounts by missionaries, ship captains, early visitors, and reports in English and Hawaiian-language media, this groundbreaking book provides an extensive look into the now-lost residences of the kingdom's elite. Learn about the historic events that took place in the residences of Hawaiian royalty and see how the island chiefs lived their everyday lives.

In the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) of 1921, the U.S. Congress defined “native Hawaiians” as those people “with at least one-half blood quantum of individuals inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778.” This “blood logic” has since become an entrenched part of the legal system in Hawai‘i. Hawaiian Blood is the first comprehensive history and analysis of this federal law that equates Hawaiian cultural identity with a quantifiable amount of blood. J. Kēhaulani Kauanui explains how blood quantum classification emerged as a way to undermine Native Hawaiian (Kanaka Maoli) sovereignty. Within the framework of the 50-percent rule, intermarriage “dilutes” the number of state-recognized Native Hawaiians. Thus, rather than support Native claims to the Hawaiian islands, blood quantum reduces Hawaiians to a racial minority, reinforcing a system of white racial privilege bound to property ownership. Kauanui provides an impassioned assessment of how the arbitrary correlation of ancestry and race imposed by the U.S. government on the indigenous people of Hawai‘i has had far-reaching legal and cultural effects. With the HHCA, the federal government explicitly limited the number of Hawaiians included in land provisions, and it recast Hawaiians’ land claims in terms of colonial welfare rather than collective entitlement. Moreover, the exclusionary logic of blood quantum has profoundly affected cultural definitions of indigeneity by undermining more inclusive Kanaka Maoli notions of kinship and belonging. Kauanui also addresses the ongoing significance of the 50-percent rule: Its criteria underlie recent court decisions that have subverted the Hawaiian sovereignty movement and brought to the fore charged questions about who counts as Hawaiian.

In 2000, Governor George Ryan of Illinois, a Republican and a supporter of the death penalty, declared a moratorium on executions in his state. In 2003 he commuted the death sentences of all Illinois prisoners on death row. Ryan contended that the application of the death penalty in Illinois had been arbitrary and unfair, and he ignited a new round of debate over the appropriateness of execution. Nationwide surveys indicate that the number of Americans who favor the death penalty is declining. As the struggle over capital punishment rages on, twelve states and the District of Columbia have taken bold measures to eliminate the practice. This landmark study is the first to examine the history and motivations of those jurisdictions that abolished capital punishment and have resisted the move to reinstate death penalty statutes.
