Freedom of Religion

What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?

Burkina Faso

Article 14 of the 1970 Constitution of Upper Volta reads: "Freedom of religious belief, profession and practise, subject to the maintenance of public order, shall be guaranteed to all by the Constitution."

Under Chapter I, Article 7, Freedom of Religion is asserted in the 1991 Constitution of Burkina Faso. This article also specifies that respect for the law, public order, good morals, and the human person must be upheld with free practice. Equality regardless of religion is also guaranteed under Article I.
