Detail/context:

The conflicts that became World War II began in the 1930s with Japanese imperial aggression into Manchuria, to take over Chinese territory.  Beginning in 1938, the United States adopted increasingly severe trade restrictions against Japan in response.  When Japan moved into French Indochina in 1941, the USA froze all Japanese financial assets in the USA and placed an embargo on all oil and gasoline shipments to Japan.  The Japanese viewed the embargo as an act of war, and their attack against the US at Pearl Harbor, a naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii, was (from Japan's viewpoint) a response to US trade sanctions against them. 

The United States declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941 -- the day after the attack on the Pearl Harbor naval base.

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.
