Its first constitution was written in 1961 in the nation's then official language: French(Mauritanie, Constitution de 1961, 2024). The Islamic Republic of ~~Mauritania~~ Constitution ~~does not explicitly and directly guarantee~~ the ~~right to~~ freedom of ~~expression. However, in the preamble the country proclaims itself to follow the principles of democracy and the rights outlined~~ in the ~~1789 Declaration of Human Rights, otherwise known as The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen~~. The ~~French National Assembly asserts~~ that ~~“The unrestrained communication of thoughts and opinions being one~~ of the ~~most precious rights of man, every citizen may speak, write, and publish freely, provided he~~ is responsible for the abuse of this liberty, in cases determined by law.” The previous section also addresses relative aspects of the freedom of expression by providing that “No man ought to be molested on account of his opinions, not even on account of his religious opinions, provided his avowal of them does not disturb the ~~public order established by law~~.”		\|contents=Article 2 of Mauritania’s 1959 Constitution contains the first assertion of freedom of religion in the country’s independent history. The document also states that “the religion of the Mauritanian people is the Muslim religion.”

	~~Sources:~~		Mauritania’s 1991 constitution was adopted on 12 July of that year. The preamble and Article 1 guarantee equality under the law, however it does not include religion as a distinct protected class. Article 5 declares that Islam is the state religion.
