The Articles of Confederation were determind to be unworkable, and were replaced by the Constitution, which became the supreme law of the land. As far as I know, the Constitution does not anywhere use the term “Perpetual Union”.
The Constitution did not abolish the Articles of Confederation, it amended and improved the political arrangements. The Preamble starts off: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union...” Not a less perfect Union. There's not a word about abolishing the the perpetuity of the Union anywhere in the Constitution.

There’s not a word about *keeping* it either. The “more perfect union” may or may not have been referring to the aforementioned ‘perpetual union’ OR it may have been indicating a *new* union.
