[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.

[edit] Hawai'i or Hawaii

Do you put a apostrophe in it or not? Sometimes it spelled like that in the article and sometimes it isn't. I didn't want to change it because i wasn't sure.--Onceonthisisland 12:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bill of Rights is Wrong

I don't have time to change it but I think this article uses an old version of the bill of rights. There are actually 24 sections and the numbering has also changed a little bit. Here is the link to the current Bill of Right http://hawaii.gov/lrb/con/conart1.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.131.204 (talk) 07:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
