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

Georgia

The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Georgia of 1921 protected freedom of expression, and the redrafted version of this constitution is still in place today. Article 19 of the 1995 Georgia Constitution grants freedom of expression to all individuals. It also stipulates that no one may be forced to express certain beliefs. Article 16 broadens this conceptualization of expression by postulating that “everyone has the right to free personal development.”
