Small plantation owners, which was the secOnd highest social class in the south, controlled politics in the south.
Hawaiian plantations were in operation beginning in the 1800s, and some continued through the mid-1900s; the main product was sugarcane, but there were also pineapple plantations. The plantation owners wanted to be in total control of the production, as their goal was to make bigger profits. These owners were few in number (five powerful families dominated the sugarcane plantations), but they were very influential in Hawaii's politics and were able to negotiate favorable arrangements that kept prices high and wages low. The plantation owners imported mostly foreign workers, since it was believed that foreigners would do the work cheaply. But many of the foreigners (who came from China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines) found that plantation work was hard and they were treated like slaves or indentured servants. What is ironic is that the majority of the plantation owners came from missionary families, yet when they became successful in business, they often did not treat their workers fairly, which led to problems many years later.
Public Opinion

The detractors of the constitution listed a number of shortcomings in Federalist Papers (Number 85). They argued that the constitution would lead to the consolidation of power in the central government, that it would grant too much power to the president, and that it would allow the wealthy to unduly influence the government.
The influences of the Americans in the Philippines are quite a number. The most common include religion, trade, politics and much more. There is also the language influence by Americans.
