	Constitution of Hawaii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Constitution of Hawaii refers to various legal documents throughout the history of the Hawaiian Islands that defined the fundamental principles of authority and governance within its sphere of jurisdiction.
		Numerous constitutions have been promulgated for the Kingdom of Hawaii, Republic of Hawaii, Territory of Hawaii and State of Hawaii.
		A few constitutions have become historically infamous like the Bayonet Constitution of 1887 which stripped native Hawaiians of their rights in favor of American plantation owners and the constitution of 1893 that was never officially promulgated but instead inflamed businessmen to accelerate their plans for the overthrow of the monarchy.

	Constitution of Vermont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The constitution's Declaration of Rights of the Inhabitants of the State of Vermont anticipates the United States Bill of Rights by a dozen years and was a model for France's Déclaration universelle sur des droits de l'homme (Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man).

	Governor of Hawaii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also, the Governor of Hawaii has wide-reaching authority comparably stronger than the other governors in the Union; administrative powers are more centralized than that of most other states with little authority devolved to the counties, and unlike other states there are no local school districts.
		By law, the Governor of Hawaii has the power to create his or her cabinet and departments as needed as long as the executive department is composed of no more than twenty bodies and cabinet members.
		The Governor of Hawaii's official residence is Washington Place, a mansion that was once a minor royal palace of Queen Lili'uokalani and her husband, Prince Consort John Owen Dominis.

	Hawaii Supreme Court Case No. 15689 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Article I, section 6 of the Hawaii Constitution ex- pressly states that "[t]he right of the people to privacy is recognized and shall not be infringed without the showing of a compelling state interest." The privacy concept embodied in this constitutional principle is to be treated as a fundamental right.
		The Hawaii Constitution mandates, in article I, section 3, that "[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the State on account of sex." It also mandates, in article I, section 5, that "[n]o person shall be.
		In my view, the Hawaii constitution's reference to "sex" includes all aspects of each person's "sex" that are "biologically fated." The decision whether a person when born will be a male or a female is "biologically fated." Thus, the word "sex" includes the male-female difference.

		The Attorney General of Hawaii opines in his editorial "U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Report on the Akaka Bill Fails Native People of Hawaii" that the Constitution grants wide latitude for Congress to give away the rights of some to benefit others simply because of his definition of "the sufferings of the Native Hawaiian people."
		With a vote by the owners of the State of Hawaii that clearly accepts the act of creating an ethnic tribe, endowed with the transfer of specific public lands and/or money, Hawaii as a state stands a chance of continuing as a racial melting pot with Aloha for all.
