[edit] “Historically Infamous”

“A few constitutions have become historically infamous like the Bayonet Constitution of 1887 which stripped native Hawaiians of their rights...and the constitution of 1978 that...declared the Hawaiian language to be the official language of the state.”

This sentence seems strange to me. Is the constitution of 1978 really considered infamous? That judgment would seem to conflict with the article 1978 Hawaii State Constitutional Convention which describes the 1978 constitution quite positively.
