However, "constitute" is not a very common word.
We use "comprise" in the passive most often (e.g. - Japan is comprised of many prefectures. / Water is comprised of two hydrogen molecules and an oxygen molecule.) You could also say "Two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule constitute water" but that is very rigid and would only be in very technical written language, I think.

After looking through many examples, I don't see any examples where you could not replace "constitute" with "comprise," so they seem to be true synonyms.

For example: "... [T]he metals iron, nickel and cobalt, and some of their alloys and compounds constitute a class by themselves and are called ferromagnetic substances."
"... [T]he metals iron, nickel and cobalt, and some of their alloys and compounds comprise a class by themselves and are called ferromagnetic substances."

A: To "establish" something is to start it or set it up. Established is the same as founded.

To "constitute" something is to make up the whole from smaller parts, such as in "twelve months constitute a year" or "sixty seconds constitute a minute". It can also mean to establish by law, like in your example.
