1852 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom

I chose this article because I love traveling to Hawaii and their history piques my interest. I feel it is important to evaluate historical articles for accuracy and honor the representation of Hawaiian Kingdom history. Additionally, this is a part of my curriculum at UCSF.

Evaluate the article
The lead section begins with a brief introduction of the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, its author, and its purpose. However, the lead section is lacking a set up for the rest of the article. The content in the article seems thorough because it highlights the important features of the development of the Constitution, such as its transition from the original constitution, its main sections, and the amendment in 1856. There does not seem to be information that is out of place or missing. This article is neutral and does not pose any bias. The links that I check do work and they seem reputable. I feel that there are some long paragraphs with only one citation where an additional resource could have been cited to back up some of the information. I did not notice spelling errors or grammar errors. The wording was very easy to read and no jargon was too complex for understanding. I liked the format of each topic header and then the specific information that correlated to that topic below it. The images are well-captioned and detailed. The chosen images give a good visual for what is being discussed in the article beside the image. In the talk page, I learned that this article is a part of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment and it is part of the Wiki Project Law. The talk page also reveals that this is just brief introduction to the entirety of the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom and more research should be concluded regarding all of its sections. The article name was changed a few times, but this I did not find important. Overall, I liked the structure of the article, its simplicity, and the highlighted but brief background information regarding the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom. ~
