He served to lay the foundation for the evolution of parliamentary
government and subsequent declarations of rights in Great Britain and
the United States. In attempting to establish checks on the king's
powers, this document asserted the right of "due process" of law. By the

There was a quota of how many people could come in and the US wanted to keep to the quota system.
The United States (at the time of the St. Louis sailing) was neutral, so they also didn't want to endanger that neutrality.
The southern part of China and its northern part are total contrasts when it comes to the climate. The southern part is coming out on sea, and it is on lower latitude. Because of this, this part of China is covered with tropical vegetation, having a wet and dry seasons. The temperatures are mostly over 30 C degrees, the precipitation is very high when the monsoons are wet, and almost totally absent when the monsoons are dry. The northern part, on the other side, is far away from the sea, and it is also on higher elevation. This part is also on higher latitude. The landscape is dominated by desert and semi-desert. The precipitation is very low because this part is not reached by the moisture from the sea, and it is heavily influenced by the continental air masses. This results in very high temperatures in the summer, exceeding 35 C degrees, and very low temperatures in winter, going below -40 C degrees.
