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.

 Equalizing school funding and the 1970 Constitutional Convention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Many commentators have noted differing state supreme court interpretations of provisions for "equal protection" and an "efficient" system of "high-quality" education, and the impact of these vague phrases in state constitutions on the state's obligation to equalize funding for public schools.
Since Bottino explicitly stated that this proposal would be judicially enforceable, the state argues that the rejection of it by a 51-37 vote shows that the intent of the convention was to exclude all judicial enforcement of equalized funding based on the Education Article.
The 1970 convention voted neither to include nor to exclude the issue of equality from the constitution; instead, the complexity of the issue caused delegates to leave it open for the future.

 Alaska Constitutional Convention Minutes Concerning Judicial Selection and Retention
In every modern constitution, and when I say modern constitution, with the exception of Hawaii which evaded the issue, in every modern constitution--by that I mean all our latest--Missouri, the state of New Jersey, and Hawaii--they all provide for appointive judges and not elective judges.
With that in mind then, sometime shortly after the adoption of the United States Constitution, many of the states started electing their judges with the idea that the judges would be more responsive to the public will.
I notice that Hawaii set up a period of seven years, quite evidently a compromise figure, because they ask the superior court judges, who are dealing with affairs much closer to the people, to appear every six years.
