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.

Why mention something you aren't changing, and have no intention of changing? If you want something abolished, you should mention it. There is nothing in the Constitution saying “The Articles are rescinded.” There is nothing it the Constitution saying “The Perpetual Union is now temporary and transitory.”
