Description

The report highlights the current standing of the Hawaiian Organic act in 1954. It shows the government bodies that were in act years before Hawaii voted to become a state of the United State and what ‘type’ of home rule Hawaii should have. Including state-local relations, Municipal Home rule, County home rule and local government structures in Hawaii.

This source highlights the ways the American government started to question the role of the Organic Act five years before Hawaii became a state. Including viewing how Hawaii’s current territory status could be changed to allow more control over their own legislature. This source relates to the history of Hawaii coming to statehood after the Second World War.
