Japanese expansionism took place around 1901 when Japan modernized, it finally ceased to be a feudal country and became a capitalist country, with certain expansion policies in which it was believed that to satisfy Japanese needs, it was necessary to guarantee a situation stable economic situation.

Everything started in 1903, when the Japanese national government felt a great lack of energy resources. Until 1905, the country did not want any alternative to remedy this deficiency, in addition it was completely isolated from certain issues such as loans to foreign countries, funds, among others. In other words, Japan urgently needed to obtain energy resources to restore its economy. Thus, in that same period, Japan, which had already invested a lot of money in military force, enters the current South Korea without major problems, dominates the capital Seoul in just three days and begins the so-called “Japanese expansionism”. Also in the midst of all this, Japan manages to dominate the China Sea, thus expanding the Japanese Sea, as well as dominating some Pacific islands.

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.
