King Kamehameha III, who was the ruling king at the time of the progression of the Kuleana Act of 1850.
Conclusion
Transitioning from the traditional ahupuaʻa system to the Kuleana Act of 1850 created turmoil in Hawaiʻi. People both agreed and disagreed with it. During the ruling of King Kamehameha III, the Kuleana Act of 1850 took its effect on the Hawaiian society. Not only bad, but good as well. Foreigners from other countries that may have been living in a hell like country were able to come to Hawaiʻi to possibly gain a fee simple title to land. On the other side of this coin was that many of the native tenants that were already residing in Hawaiʻi were forced to adapt to the new right and responsibilities that the Kuleana Act enforced. Thirty years after this act took its toll, foreigners then overthrew Queen Liliʻuokalani, which then led to the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States in 1898.
