In the image displayed above it is showing a timeline of the propulation of Maori and European back from 1836 through to 1901. From around 1830 through to the 1840s, the Maori population had dominated the Europeans, but that would soon change after the occurance of the musket wars. The musket wars had greatly affected the Maori population after it had resulted in the deaths of an estimated 20,000 people. But, this was not the only reason the Europeans had outnumbered the Maori.

Introduction 

In 1830 there were around 100,000 Maori and 200 Europeans. 

Paragraph One (Lawyer)

One reason that a treaty was needed was the lawless behaviour of some of the British Settlers like whalers.This matters because of the lawless behaviour of the sailors. The first thing the sailors would do once they would arrive at shore would be to go straight to the pub and get wasted. Then they would get into fights, which would cause problems with the residents because they would disturb the peace within Kororareka. 

Paragraph Two (Lawyer)

Another reason that a treaty was needed was to protect Māori rights. One group that felt strongly about this was the missionaries.The missionaries were worried about many things and believed that a treaty was needed in order to create peace and better rights for Maori. These rights were going to help prevent the theft of their land and to reduce the amount of the deaths occurring during the musket wars.   

Paragraph Three (Hammer)

Another reason that a treaty was needed was the Musket Wars. The Musket wars had originally begun because of conflict between the northern iwi ngapuhi and Ngati Whatua. Because of this, it had resulted in the deaths of an estimated 20,000 Maori. This was a massive downfall for Maori and something was needed to be done to stop all the madness.

Paragraph Four (The Slam Dunk)

The final reason that a treaty was needed was the existence of the Declaration of Independence. 

Conclusion (Robust Conclusion)

In conclusion, a treaty was needed because
