Edict of Toleration (Hawaii)
An Edict of Toleration is a declaration made by a government, or ruler, which states that it, or he/she, will not persecute members of a certain religion for engaging in their religious practices and traditions. Essentially an Edict of Toleration implies the tacit acceptance of a certain religion, rather than an endorsement by the ruling powers.
