Anonymous · Answer

Hawaii was acquired by the United States through the overthrow of its monarchy in 1893 and was formally annexed in 1898. This action raised constitutional concerns as it lacked the consent of the Hawaiian people and was achieved through dubious means. Ultimately, Hawaii became a U.S. territory, and later the 50th state in 1959.
