Hawaii judicial system

The state government of Hawaii is modeled after the federal government with adaptations originating from the kingdom era of Hawaiian history. The current version of the Hawaii Constitution features a preamble that states, "We, the people of the State of Hawaiʻi, grateful for Divine Guidance, and mindful of our Hawaiian heritage, reaffirm our belief in a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and with an understanding heart toward all peoples of the earth do hereby ordain and establish this constitution for the State of Hawai'i."
