They forced the king to sign a new constitution.
In 1887 a group of mostly non‑native businessmen and militia (the Honolulu Rifles) compelled King Kalākaua at gunpoint to accept the so‑called "Bayonet Constitution," which sharply reduced the monarch's power and increased political control for wealthy non‑native residents.
