Usage tips
Word formation
'Verfasst' is originally the past participle of 'verfassen' (to compose / draft). As an adjective, it refers to 'Verfassung' (constitution) in the sense of a basic political or legal order and describes the political or legal form of a state or organization.
EXAMPLE
Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist ein rechtsstaatlich verfasstes Gemeinwesen.
The Federal Republic of Germany is a polity constituted under the rule of law.
Formal written style
'Verfasst' is used in this meaning almost exclusively in factual, political, legal, and official texts. It therefore has a formal written tone and often appears with words such as 'Staat' (state), 'Gemeinwesen' (political community), or 'Studierendenschaft' (student body).
EXAMPLE
An vielen Hochschulen vertritt die verfasste Studierendenschaft die Interessen der Studierenden.
At many universities, the officially constituted student body represents the students' interests.
Political order
This meaning can often be recognized by adjectives such as 'demokratisch' (democratic), 'föderal' (federal), or 'republikanisch' (republican). A state or political order is often the subject.
EXAMPLE
Seit dem Ende der Monarchie ist das Land republikanisch verfasst.
Since the end of the monarchy, the country has been constituted as a republic.
