As you probably know, you are asking about a phrase from the preamble to the US Constitution. At the time the Constitution was written, the union was weak and poorly organized with no real central government. Probably the most important goal and purpose of the constitution was to set up the framework for a more perfect union of the states in order to create a single invisible nation.
"In order to form a more perfect union" means that the government was not perfect but that our founding fathers had a goal.
The word "union" refers to the union of the different colonies or states. Their "union" did not start out perfect, so the founding fathers set out with the goal of creating one, a union between all the colonies (or states) so that the common good and defense is provided for and domestic tranquility and prosperity could follow afterward.
Alone, each of the colonies was vulnerable to attack. They could not provide for their defense and ensure their long-term independence by themselves alone so they formed a union between them, so that they could win their independence and protect themselves against the British Government and the French.

The words in the Declaration of Independence mean that at that time period the U.S. wasn't very united. Also, they wanted to improve the government, and just about everything else too. They are basically saying that our country isn't how we want it yet, but it is our goal to get there.
