A video I made discussing an overview of the constitutional history of Hawaiian titles and the existing claimaints to the Hawaiian Throne including the Houses of Kawananakoa and La'anui.
For those that are confused. Hawai'i was a CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY which means the succession to the Hawaiian Throne was regulated by the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The King/Queen could not proclaim any Tom, Dick, or Harry (or in our case any Keone, Kekoa, or Keola) as his/her heir. All transactions of the monarch had to be counter signed by the Cabinet Council and by the Upper House of Parliament, the House of Nobles. A monarch was a monarch not by birth right but "By the Grace of God and under the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom" which was part of the official title of the Hawaiian monarch. As Kamehameha III once said, "The monarch is sovereign...but is not sovereign above the constitution which ensures the protection of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and works of ones hands and minds".
