1840 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii
The 1840 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii titled ''"Ke Kumukānāwai a me nā Kānāwai o ko Hawai’i Pae ‘Āina, Honolulu, 1840"'' was the first fully written constitution for the Kingdom of Hawaii. The need for a constitution was originally intended as a manner of laws set fourth to control the Native Hawaiian population with a Western style, legal framework, giving less severe punishments such as being exile as was the traditional custom to the 1840s. Christianity had failed to change many behaviors of the Hawaiian population even with the support of the aliʻi families. Adultery, and many other sexual relations became forbidden and illegal. To control this, Hawaiians were arrested and sentenced to severe punishments that were not controlled or enacted well. The exiled had little food and could swim away from the islands and the prison at Honolulu Fort was easy to escape from. The issue became worse as less pardons from the alii were available and the overall sentencing then became much more severe to the native population.
==Overview==
The constitution was enacted on October 8, 1840 by King Kamehameha III and Kekāuluohi as ''Kuhina Nui'', an office similar to Prime Minister or co-regent. This constitution as compared to its predecessor was extremely detailed. The June 7, 1839 document, sometimes called a constitution, but more similar to a declaration of rights simply stated the government was based on Christian values and equality for all. Incorporating the 1839 document, the 1840 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawai’i was a turning point in Hawai’i government.
This constitution organizes the power of government and its functions by defining the House of Representatives as the legislative body, giving their people the power to vote, proclamation of the House of Kamehameha, establishment of the office of Kuhina Nui, creation of the office of royal governors of the various islands and recognition of Christianity as an authority. Strong Christian values play an enormous role in The Kingdom of Hawai'i as represented by this Constitution.
