A samurai rebellion is an interesting concept if only because they were supposed to be 100 percent loyal to their country (I think), which would, in theory, involve following unjust laws and moving through the proper channels to make changes to those laws. I hope I am not talking out of my ass here, I am only vague recalling some study I did a while back on Shinto belief.
