Answer:

Why are they important? Landmark cases are important because they change the way the Constitution is interpreted. When new cases are brought before the courts, the decisions made by the Supreme Court in landmark cases are looked at to see how the judge shall rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Landmark decision, or Landmark court decision, establishes new precedents that establish a significant new legal principle or concept. Or it changes the interpretation of existing law. ... A landmark decision is one that changes an entire area of the law during a period of time.

;-; sorry hopes this helps
