Answer 1

Answer:

In 1887, white business leaders forced King David Kalakaua to change Hawaii's constitution to grant voting rights only to wealthy landowners.

Explanation:

The 1887 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom was signed by King David Kalakaua. The king was threatened to be killed at gunpoint if he didn't sign the document, and inevitably, he gave in. The document said that all Native Hawaiians' land was to be taken away and handed over to foreign landowners.
