Prior to 1840, land in [[Hawaii Genealogy|Hawaii]] belonged to the king and the chiefs. There were no titles to land, and allotments could be taken away at any time. The Constitution in 1840 stated that the land belonged to the king but that it was not his personal property. The chiefs and other tenants were recognized collectively as co-owners of the land under the king's management. | Prior to 1840, land in [[Hawaii Genealogy|Hawaii]] belonged to the king and the chiefs.
