Where is the legal document that repealed the 1781 Articles of Confederation?

One does not exist, as the 1781 Articles of Confederation were never repealed. They were superceded by the states' ratification of the US Constitution in 1788 (which clearly stipulated that, upon ratification, it would become the legal basis for the government).
