The Bayonet Constitution of 1887 significantly reduced the power of the Hawaiian monarchy and increased the influence of American and European interests in Hawaii. It limited the voting rights of native Hawaiians and expanded the electorate to include wealthy foreign residents, effectively disenfranchising many locals. This constitution laid the groundwork for the eventual overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 and the annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898. The changes also marked a shift toward greater imperial control over Hawaii's political and economic landscape.
No, she served as a Constitutional Monarch under the Bayonet Constitution until she advocated a new constitution which restored equality to Asian Americans and restored the voting rights of Native Hawaiians. Those demands insured her overthrow and the creation of the Republic of Hawaii.
