constitutional status /authority
This is what I would say. Although they speak of "rank", personally I would use status or authority.

Los derechos constitucionales (denominados también derechos fundamentales y garantías individuales ) son aquellos derechos humanos garantizados con rango constitucional que se consideran como esenciales en el sistema político que la Constitución funda y que están especialmente vinculados a la dignidad de la persona humana. Es decir, son aquellos derechos que dentro del ordenamiento jurídico disfrutan de un estatus especial en cuanto a garantías (de tutela y reforma).

a constitutionally established/mandated organisation
The meaning is that the organisation has been established and its role defined by the constitution. I don't think constitutional 'rank' or 'status' or similar is easily understood in English.
