  KUHINA NUI, 1819-1864 — Department of Accounting and General Services
At his installation, Kamehameha I’s favorite wife, Ka‘ahumanu, expressed her intent to share the rule of the realm with Liholiho, and with her proclamation, the office of Kuhina Nui was created.
The Kuhina Nui held equal authority to the king in all matters of government, including the distribution of land, negotiating treaties and other agreements, and dispensing justice.
The office of Kuhina Nui functioned from 1819 to 1864, through the reigns of Kamehameha II, III, IV, and V. Influenced by western-style government processes, Kamehameha III granted Hawai‘i’s first constitution in 1840 where the office of Kuhina Nui was first codified.
