What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?
France
Title I of the French Constitution of 1791 guarantees the right of peaceful assembly.
“Liberty to citizens to assemble peaceably and without arms in accordance with police regulations.”
Though the French Constitution of 1791 protected the right to assemble, French revolutionaries considered explicitly excluding free association (Boyd 257). The French enacted a law protecting free association in 1901, and enshrined it in their constitution in 1971 (Boyd 2008, 237).
