constituted
Describes the nature, properties, or condition of something. It expresses how something is made, constituted, or structured.
Das Material ist so beschaffen, dass es kein Wasser durchlässt.
The material is constituted in such a way that it does not let water through.
The adjective 'beschaffen' (constituted) is the past participle form of the verb 'beschaffen' (to obtain/procure something). As an adjective, however, it has its own meaning and describes the nature or property of something, that is, how it is 'made'.
Die Oberfläche des Tisches ist sehr glatt beschaffen.
The surface of the table is very smooth in texture.
This adjective is almost always used predicatively, meaning after a verb such as 'sein' (to be). Using it directly before a noun (attributively) is very rare and often sounds unnatural.
Der Boden in dieser Region ist sehr steinig beschaffen.
The soil in this region is very rocky in nature.
'Beschaffen' (constituted) is often specified more closely by an adverb that describes the type of property. Typical combinations are 'gut/schlecht beschaffen' (well/poorly constituted), 'so/anders beschaffen' (constituted like this/differently), or 'merkwürdig beschaffen' (strangely constituted).
Das Werkzeug ist so beschaffen, dass man sich nicht verletzen kann.
The tool is designed in such a way that you cannot injure yourself.
to organize
'organisieren' and 'beschaffen' can both refer to the structure of something, but they are used very differently. 'organisieren' is a verb and describes an action: someone puts something in order or prepares something. 'beschaffen', on the other hand, describes what something is like, for example the nature of a material, a room, or a situation. The words can be confused because a well-organized system can also have a certain constitution. Still, you say: you actively organize something, but something is constituted in a certain way.
Das Material ist so beschaffen, dass es auch bei Regen stabil bleibt.
The material is made in such a way that it remains stable even in the rain.
