You could say when it was implemented in 1868 since it never met Constitutional requirements for ratification.\n\nCertainly when supported by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Texas V. White in 1869.

In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. (The act excluded Palmyra Atoll, part of the Kingdom and Territory of Hawaiʻi, from the new state.) On June 27 of that year, a plebiscite was held asking residents of Hawaiʻi to vote on accepting the statehood bill. Hawaiʻi voted 17 to 1 to accept. On August 21, church bells throughout Honolulu were rung upon the proclamation that Hawaiʻi was the 50th state of the Union.\n\nAfter statehood, Hawaiʻi quickly became a modern state with a construction boom and rapidly growing economy. The Hawaiʻi Republican Party, which was strongly supported by the plantation owners, was voted out of office. In its place, the Democratic Party of Hawaiʻi dominated state politics for forty years. The state also worked toward restoring the native Hawaiian culture. The Hawaiʻi State Constitutional Convention of 1978 heralded what some called a Hawaiian renaissance. Its delegates created programs that sought to revive the indigenous Hawaiian language and culture. In addition, they sought to promote native control over Hawaiian issues by creating the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

Assisted suicide may be permitted under a state scheme, but it is not required under the federal Constitution.  The Supreme Court found in Washington v. Glucksberg (1997) found that a Washington statute prohibiting assisted suicide was permissible.  A long-standing legal tradition in the United States, and in English common law history, exists that opposes assisted suicide.\n\nIt is still questionable whether a state may PERMIT assisted suicide, but Oregon has legalized it.  The recent disputes, however, have focused almost exclusively on whether Oregon may violate federal drug control laws when allowing assisted suicide, so the focus of the case is less upon assisted suicide and more about drug laws.  In theory, at least, the Supreme Court has never forbidden assisted suicide.  It's simply been historically opposed by state law, and morally opposed by most citizens.
