Why was the Supreme Court’s decision on California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians significant?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A

California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians was a US Supreme Court landmark decision issued in 1987. It abolished laws which restricted gaming and gambling on Indian reservations.

It was considered unconstitutional, that the states tried to limit only certain type of gambling activities and not others.
