a. they followed a code of honor called bushido
b. they received land in payment for their services
c. they provided military protection for the ruling class
d. they wore pretective armor and carried swords

The correct answer is A. The samurai warriors followed a code of honor called Bushido, that was specific for them, as they didn't share it with other warriors.

It was a strict and particular ethical code to which many samurai gave their lives, which demanded loyalty and honor until death. If a samurai failed to maintain his honor, he could recover it by practicing seppuku (ritual self-murder).

It was not simply a list of rules to which a warrior should adhere in exchange for his title, but a set of principles that prepared a man to fight without losing his humanity, and to lead and command without losing touch with values basic It was a description of a way of life, and a prescription to become a noble warrior and man.

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.
