Maryland Constitution Article X - vacant
In the Maryland Constitution, Article X is titled "Vacant", which means:
There is currently no content or provision under Article X.
Explanation:
"Vacant" in constitutional terms simply means the article has been reserved but not yet used, or a previous article was removed or repealed, leaving the number in place for continuity.
This avoids confusion in referencing and indexing the constitution.
If you're studying or comparing state constitutions, it's not uncommon to find unused or repealed articles still listed (like Article X in Maryland).
