Question

Now, make a list of arguments against the annexation of Hawaii by the US government. Select one argument and write a brief justification of 50 to 60 words.

Answer 1

Hawaii is an American territory that makes up one of the states in the USA, its capital is Honolulu.

As you may already know, Hawaii was annexed to the United States in an agreement that did not please many people and that encourage, to this day, groups to fight for the separation of the states. These groups have arguments against the annexation of the state to the American territory, some of these arguments are:

• Attaching Hawaii to the American territory is unconstitutional, since it was done only to strengthen the dominance of the USA.
• The population was not consulted, so there was no diplomatic agreement.
• Hawaii has no military strength to help the United States.
• Hawaii does not have an economy strong enough to help the United States, but it has enough economy to maintain itself.
• Attaching Hawaii, presents a very high economic expense for the USA, and a very small benefit.
