This paper reveals the deep illegitimacy of the ruling government in Hawaiʻi 1894-1898 by focusing on voting rights and laws created in a 1894 Constitutional Convention and the use of these laws by the ruling oligarchy to hold tightly to minority rule while attempting to appear democratic. Primary-source research within a prolific archive is used to reveal both specific and broad contradictions between the narrative put forward by the oligarchy and what de-facto existed

Race, Power, and the Dilemma of Democracy: Hawaiʻi's First Territorial Legislature, 19012015 •
The formation of a territorial legislature in Hawai‘i marked a critical transition from the preceding seven years of oligarchic rule—1893-1900. Political union with the United States threatened the currently nascent hegemony of the ascendant minority white community in the Islands. In response, white leaders sought to craft a race-centric narrative that posited native incompetence as an answer to why democracy should not prevail in an American territory. An examination and analysis of the 1901Territorial Legislature in Hawai‘i, through both native and English-language sources, provides a revealing look at the employment of race as a political tool used to denigrate native leadership and argue against democracy during this crucial struggle for political control of America’s newest territory.

After 100 years, the Hawaiian kingdom’s collapse continues to garner not only academic debate, but also long-standing hostilities rooted in deep-seated sentiments of Pacific Nativism and American Nationalism. From this enduring conflict, two historical interpretations have developed that reflect the polarized views of nineteenth century Western capitalists and the modern Native Hawaiians. Although antagonistic in nature, their narratives reject accepted historical methods in favor of promoting their specific social, religious, and political principles. Using government documents, newspaper and journal articles, as well as the manuscripts of key historical agents, the thesis reexamines the events corresponding to the cessation of Hawaii’s monarchy and its sovereignty five years later. Contrary to the competing primary historical narratives, it examines the often-ignored complex social, political, and economic factors that created a tempestuous, but economically profitable, relationship between the kingdom’s privileged native class and the elite foreign subjects. The evidence indicates the 1893 coup d'état resulted from multiple domestic conflicts, independent of American foreign policies, but garnered international attention when a rogue US diplomat aided the Caucasian insurgents. Furthermore, the material suggests American imperialists in 1898, not a policy of imperialism, used their country’s increased nationalism during the Spanish-American War to appropriate the Hawaiian Islands as a military asset. The true victim, as with most global historical narratives, remained the islands’ neglected commoners caught in the drive to elevate financial standings.
