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.

The Bayonet Constitution of 1887 resulted in a significant reduction of the power of the Hawaiian monarchy, particularly King Kalākaua, and increased the influence of American and European businessmen in Hawaii. It imposed restrictions on voting rights, limiting suffrage to wealthy landowners and effectively disenfranchising many native Hawaiians. This shift laid the groundwork for the eventual overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, as it ignited tensions between native Hawaiians and the growing foreign influence in the islands.
It was the forced signing of a Constitution that actually effected who could vote. (That's what changed from 1846 to the 1887 Constitution.) The King still had his powers but under much checks and balances. One must read this Constitution to have a full understanding: E:\Hawaii Laws\Kingdom of Hawaii Constitution of 1887.mht .
