The scope of a relativistically covariant constituent quark model of baryons based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation in instantaneous approximation is illustrated by a discussion of various baryon resonance observables such as static electromagnetic moments --including a novel calculational procedure-- form factors and helicity amplitudes, semileptonic decays as well as the systematics of two-body strong decay widths.
