 1893 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1893 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii was a proposed revision of the Constitution of 1887 put forth by Queen Liliuokalani.
While it never became anything more than a draft, the constitution had a profound impact on Hawaii's history: it set off a chain of events that eventually resulted in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy.
The Queen, in an attempt to draw the U.S. into the crisis, abdicated under protest ostensibly "to the superior force of the United States government." The Kingdom of Hawaii had ended, and a new provisional government was declared.
