What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?
India
The following quote was attributed to Gandhi in 1922:
“Freedom of association is truly respected when assemblies of people can discuss even revolutionary projects, the State relying upon the force of public opinion and the civil police, not the savage military at its disposal, to crush any actual outbreak of revolution that is designed to confound public opinion and the State representing it.., The fight for swaraj means a fight for this threefold freedom before all else."
Part III Article 19 of the Indian Constitution (1950) grants citizens the right to “form associations or unions” (Dalton).
