What is the meaning of phrase a more perfect union?

The Preamble to the US Constitution reads, in part: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."Here, the writers were referring to the "union" between government and its citizens, as well as the "union" of all states and territories which the United States claimed.The 'union" between Britain and its former citizens, the US Colonists, was irrevocably damaged. Britain taxed too much, too frequently, and too unfairly. Every single product or service was taxed. The People had no voice in determining how their government would run. It was an increasingly imperfect union, riddled by unrest and discontentment.In establishing the US government, the Founding Fathers envisioned "a more perfect union" in which citizens could speak back to their government without fear of retribution or unfairness, and through representation could change how they were governed. Britain had no citizen representation. Citizens could not protest or change British government.The Preamble to the US Constitution and the wording of the Constitution was intended to draw all colonists together under one union, but like a good marriage in which both "sides" had a voice and could affect each side. States could remain independent, but federally were all part of this union. As such, States could set their own laws, as long as those laws did not violate federal laws. The Preamble and the US Constitution set up a fairer way to be governed.
