The articles of Confederation became null and void the minute the Constitution was ratified. If it wasn't null and void, then how could the Constitution be valid? The two documents conflict with each other.
Show me where in the constitution it says that the United States was dissolved.
The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution can't both be valid simultaneously, now can they? You didn't answer that question.
Seems to work for the bible.
The constitution did not dissolve the United States. In fact, the constitution's opening affirms that it is a constitution for the United States that already existed. That union was a perpetual union. The constitution created a new structure of government for the United States. It did not dissolve the United States and create a new union. Just because the old structure of federal government of the United States was abandoned does not mean that the United States ceased to exist. It merely adopted a new structure of government.
