Basically, Hawaii’s ruler wasn’t given much of a choice but to accept the Constitution that permitted them the right to vote. This made a change and the island to become a legislative. The Americans took over the Pearl Harbor finding it beneficial for military purposes for war against Spain. The Hawaiian people felt that the Americans were just stealing the land from them. Eventually, Hawaiians were allowed to become .( citizens part of the United States but this wasn’t until the 1900s. (Norton, 2015 Another conflict that arose was the Spanish-American War.
