Plz, it's due in an hour... IT has been suggested to me that the American general reader is not well informed regarding the social and political conditions which have come about in the Sandwich Islands… I feel called upon to make my own [statement] – and that is to say, the native Hawaiian – standpoint. I shall not claim that in the days of Captain Cook our people were civilized. I shall not claim anything more for their progress in civilization and Christian morality than has been already attested by missionary writers…while four-fifths of the population of our Islands was swept out of existence by the vices introduced by foreigners, the ruling class clung to Christian morality…

…And these things remained to us, until the pitiless and tireless "annexation policy" was effectively backed by the naval power of the United States…We had allowed them to give us a constitution, and control the offices of state. Not without protest, for the usurpation was unrighteous, and cost us much humiliation and distress. But we did not resist it by force. ..And while we sought by peaceful political means to maintain the dignity of the throne, and to advance national feeling among the native people, we never sought to rob any citizen, wherever born, of either property, franchise, or social standing…the people of the Islands have no voice in determining their future, but are virtually relegated to the condition of the aborigines of the American continent.

It is not for me to consider this matter from the American point of view…It is enough that I am able to say that the native people of Hawaii are entirely faithful to their own chiefs, and are deeply attached to their own customs and mode of government; that they either do not understand, or bitterly oppose, the scheme of annexation.

5. List Hawaiian complaints against American settlers.

6. Evaluate United States’ domination and Queen Liliuokalani’s reaction to imperialist aggression.

The number (of legislative assemblies) ought at most to be kept within a certain limit, in order to avoid the confusion and intemperance of a multitude. in all very numerous assemblies, of whatever character composed, passion never fails to wrest the sceptre from reason. had every athenian citizen been a socrates, every athenian assembly would still have been a mob. 3 what does the excerpt suggest about federalists? a. they preferred the idea of direct democracy over that of representative democracy. b. they thought a bill of rights would give ordinary citizens too much power c. they believed that representatives were better able to vote on national issues than ordinary citizens were. d. they wanted to see a stricter test for those wishing to become americans.
