Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Legal status of Hawaii -- The legal status of Hawaii--as opposed to its political status--is a settled legal matter but there has been scholarly and legal debate. While Hawaii is internationally recognized as a state of the United States of America while also being broadly accepted as such in mainstream understanding, there have been essays written denying the legality of this status. The argument is that Hawaii is an independent nation under military occupation. The legality of control of Hawaii by the United States has also been raised in the losing side in cases in the U.S. Supreme Court, and in U.S. District Court.
Output (English): is the nation of hawaii part of the united states
