Massachusetts Burma Law
The Massachusetts Burma Law was a law enacted in 1996 by the Massachusetts General Court limiting state entities from purchasing services from companies doing business with Myanmar (Burma). This law was enacted three months before the introduction of federal sanctions on trade with Burma.

The law was modeled on similar state and local laws from the 1980s used elsewhere in the United States to give expression to anti-apartheid objectives. After Massachusetts' restricted trade list added 34 members of the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC), the trade association sued the Secretary of Administration and Finance of Massachusetts, Stephen Crosby, arguing that the Massachusetts Burma Law was subject to federal preemption. In Crosby v. National Foreign Trade Council (2000), the Supreme Court unanimously sided with the NFTC, ending enforcement of the Massachusetts Burma Law.

Federal preemption
In the law of the United States, federal preemption is the invalidation of a U.S. state law that conflicts with federal law.  The rules of preemption seek to restrict it to only where it is explicit or necessary. In the course of adjudicating cases, the issue of preemption may be heard in either state or federal court.

Due to the exchange of musical science throughout history, many of Iran's classical modes are related to those of its neighboring cultures.

It belongs, for the most part, to the social elite, as opposed to the folkloric and popular music, in which the society as a whole participates. However, components of Iran's classical music have also been incorporated into folk and pop music compositions.
