Hawaii is part of the United States of America. It became the 50th state in 1959.

Hawaii's history is very complicated to comprehend and the years of Propaganda doesn't help. There have been 4 instances where the U.S. has acknowledged this. 1) The Blount Investigation: Where Pres. Cleveland sent James H. Blount to investigate the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. 2) 1988 Legal Opinion entitled "Legal Issues Raised by the Proposed Presidential; Proclamation to Extend the Territorial Sea"

3) 1996 legal opinion entitled Validity of Congressional-Executive Agreements that Substantially Modify the United States' Obligations Under an Existing Treaty"

4) 1993's Apology Bill signed by President Clinton Everyone is made to believe that Hawaii became a part of the U.S., but no one wants to say how that happened. Hawaii was annxed back in 1898 during the Spanish-American War via the Newlands Resolution. But anyone who knows the U.S. Constitution would remember that in Article I, Sec. 8 it states what the House is allowed to do, and how their power is limited to the United States.

Article II, Sec. 2 states that only the President shall have the power to make treaties. How can it be possible then, that a Resolution that came out of the House (created by Congressman Francis Newlands) be a treaty of annexation, something that only the President can make?

In both the 1988 and 1996 Legal Opinion I mentioned above they quesiton how that was possible, yet they had no valid reason why or how. Then the fact that they tried to have a voting back in 1959 to have Hawaii become a state. That too was another thing gone wrong. And the illegalities continue.

It is a sovereign state meaning it is equal in power and autonomy to the other states. However, it is subject to the authority of the United States government according to the US Constitution, therefore it is not fully sovereign.

It is the 50th state of the United States of America. It has an elected governor, and a state legislature. Not a kingdom.
