The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were never repealed. After the U. S. Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788, anything of the Articles in conflict would be null and void. Further, the Constitution provides additional powers for the US Government, provides additional rights to the people.

Any remainders not directly in conflict would legally still be enforceable. This is suggested by the USSC ruling in the 1869 Texas v. White case, which stated that since the Articles stated "Perpetual Union", and the Constitution states "More perfect Union", the perpetuity of the union remains in effect.

That being said, claiming rights under the Articles would require substantial research and justification. The popular belief is that the Articles are no longer in effect, and likely only a USSC justice or a specifically interested party would fully comprehend the ramifications of this.
