The Newlands Resolution officially changed Hawaii from a sovereign nation to a U.S. territory, but the annexation process began years before. In the early 1800s, missionaries from Europe and the U.S began interfering in native Hawaiian affairs and brought new diseases to the islands' populations. In 1887, non-native immigrants held King Kalakaua at gunpoint and forced him to sign a new constitution giving white immigrants more rights while stripping two-thirds of native Hawaiians of their right to vote. King Kalakaua's sister, Lili?uokalani, succeeded him on the throne after his death. In 1893, American and European immigrants formed a union to overthrow the Kingdom of Hawaii and dethrone Queen Lili?uokalani. Their efforts ended the Hawaiian monarchy and turned the Kingdom of Hawaii into the Republic of Hawaii. The Newlands Resolution resulted from negotiations with the newly formed Republic of Hawaii. The Kingdom of Hawaii existed from the 1790s until the overthrow of Queen Lili?uokalani in 1893. The Republic of Hawaii lasted only a few years until the islands became the Territory of Hawaii in 1898. In 1959, the Admission Act officially recognized Hawaii as the 50th state of the U.S.

A government is a system to govern a country or community. The Columbia Encyclopedia defines government as "a machine of social control below which the right to make laws, and the right to put into effect them, is vested in a specific institution in society".

Governments offer the parameters for normal conduct for residents, guard them against door interference, and often offer for their well-being and happiness. In the last few centuries, some economists and thinkers have recommended authorities control over some factors of the financial system.

Every kind of government rises to electricity and rules in a unique way. Research more about every form of government--monarchy, democracy, oligarchy, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism--how they arrive into electricity, and the way they rule.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

John collected taxes, modernised the government and exerted his power over the Church, Scotland and Ireland. This made him unpopular with the barons. In 1201-2, helped by King Philip of France, the lords of Lusignan, a powerful alliance of French nobles, rebelled against John. John mounted a huge campaign to re-conquer Normandy, but was badly defeated at the Battle of Bouvines (1214). John was forced to pay the huge sum of 20,000 marks and concede some lands in France in order for King Philip to recognise him as the heir to Richard I.
