The phrase exists in the preamble to the US Constitution.

At the time the Constitution was drafted, the United States were "united" pretty much in name only. The constitution didn't actually immediately solve that problem, people didn't really start thinking of themselves as "citizens of the United States" as opposed to "Virginians" or "Pennsylvanians" or whatever until after the US Civil War. But even by 1787, it was clearly recognized that whatever degree of union the United States had, it wasn't enough, so the framers of the constitution set out explicitly to form a "more perfect" ... or, to use negative terms, a less imperfect ... union.
