Question: The Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida governed Florida after a treaty was made between Spain and what other country?

<P0-S0> Law Cheung-kwok (born 26 September 1949, Hong Kong) was a member of the Sai Kung District Council (1994–2007) representing Hong King. <P0-S1>  He was also a member of the Legislative Council (1995–97) representing for the Election Committee. <P0-S2>  He joined the Provisional Legislative Council which existed from 1996 to 1998 with other members of the Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL), while other pro-democrats boycotted it. <P0-S3>  He quit the ADPL around 1998 and joined the New Century Forum and Civil Force afterward. <P0-S4>  He contested in the 1998 and 2000 Legislative Council but failed to go back to the Legislative Council. <SEP> <P1-S0>  It settled a standing border dispute between the two countries and was considered a triumph of American diplomacy. <P1-S1>  It came in the midst of increasing tensions related to Spain's territorial boundaries in North America against the United States and Great Britain in the aftermath of the American Revolution; and also during the Latin American Wars of Independence. <P1-S2> The Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819, also known as the Transcontinental Treaty, the Florida Purchase Treaty, or the Florida Treaty, was a treaty between the United States and Spain in 1819 that ceded Florida to the U.S. and defined the boundary between the U.S. and New Spain. <P1-S3>  Florida had become a burden to Spain, which could not afford to send settlers or garrisons. <P1-S4>  Madrid decided to cede the territory to the United States through the Adams–Onís Treaty in exchange for settling the boundary dispute along the Sabine River in Spanish Texas. <P1-S5>  The treaty established the boundary of U.S. territory and claims through the Rocky Mountains and west to the Pacific Ocean, in exchange for the U.S. paying residents' claims against the Spanish government up to a total of $5,000,000 and relinquishing the US claims on parts of Spanish Texas west of the Sabine River and other Spanish areas, under the terms of the Louisiana Purchase. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida, often referred to as the Florida Territorial Council or Florida Territorial Legislative Council, was the legislative body governing the American territory of Florida (Florida Territory) before statehood. <P2-S1>  The territory of Florida was acquired by the U.S. in 1821 under the Adams–Onís Treaty. <P2-S2>  Replacing the form of martial law that had existed in the territory since Florida was acquired, the U.S. Congress in 1822 established a territorial government consisting of a governor, secretary, thirteen-member Legislative Council, and judiciary, all of whom were appointed by the U.S. president. <SEP> <P3-S0> The colonial governors of Florida governed Florida during its colonial period (before 1821). <P3-S1>  The first European known to arrive there was Juan Ponce de León in 1513, but the governorship did not begin until 1565, when Pedro Menéndez de Avilés founded St. Augustine and was declared Governor and "Adelantado" of Florida. <P3-S2>  This district was subordinated to the Viceroyalty of New Spain. <P3-S3>  In 1763, following the transfer of Florida to Britain, the territory was divided into West Florida and East Florida, with separate governors. <P3-S4>  This division was maintained when Spain resumed control of Florida in 1783, and continued as provincial divisions with the Spanish Constitution of 1812. <P3-S5>  The Spanish transferred control of Florida to the United States in 1821, and the organized, incorporated Florida Territory was established on March 30, 1822. <P3-S6>  This became the modern State of Florida on March 3, 1845.
