The Articles of Confederation established perpetual union.
If that's the case, then how did the Founding Fathers throw them in the trash can when they adopted the Constitution?
The Articles said that the union "shall be perpetual".
The Constitution was written to "form a more perfect union"
"more" perfect than what? More perfect than the union established in the Articles. Since the union in the Articles is in perpetuity, and the union in the Constitution is supposed to be even more perfect than the union in the Articles, its obvious the union in the Constitution is also one of perpetuity. Unless the definition of the words "union" and "more" were different back then.
Nope! The Articles of Confederation were rendered null and void by the ratification of the Constitution.
Show us where the Constitution says secession is illegal. I've already shown where states retained the right of secession in the ratification of the Constitution.
