¹Full style of the ruler:
(a) 1810 - 14 Jun 1852: Ali‘i Nui ("King"). The
traditional style of the rulers of the major Hawaiian
polities is Ali‘i Nui, literally "Great Chief."
This style is adopted in the Hawaiian-language text of
the Constitution of 6 Oct 1840. The English-language
text uses the style "King";
(b) 14 Jun 1852 - 6 Jul 1887: Ali‘i o ko
Hawai‘i Pae ‘Āina ("King of the Hawaiian
Islands");
(c) 30 Nov 1863 - 11 Dec 1872 in
some documents: Ma ka Lokomaika‘i o ke
Akua, Ke Ali‘i o ko Hawai‘i Pae ‘Āina ("by
the grace of God, King of the Hawaiian Islands");
(d) 6 Jul 1887 - 29 Jan 1891: Mō‘ī o ko
Hawai‘i Pae ‘Āina ("King of the Hawaiian
Islands");
(e) 29 Jan 1891 - 17 Jan 1893: Mō‘ī Wahine o ko
Hawai‘i Pae ‘Āina ("Queen of the Hawaiian
Islands").
²the Hawaiian office most commonly translated
as that of 'Prime minister' is Kuhina nui.
The office was created in 1819 upon the death of
Kamehameha I. Kamehameha's favorite wife, Ka‘ahumanu,
reported that it was the King's wish that she become in
effect the co-sovereign along with the King's young son.
In her position as Kuhina nui
she ruled the Kingdom until Kamehameha II came to
majority and then for the remainder of her life. The Kuhina
nui's power was greater than that of a
prime minister in the western sense. The Constitution of
20 Aug 1864 abolished the office of Kuhina
nui returning the power held by the Kuhina
nui back to the monarch.
³under the Constitutions of 1840 and
1852 the sovereign was titular head of the armed forces.
