A relativistic constituent quark model is used to calculate the semileptonic [beta] decay of nucleons and hyperons. The parameters of the model, namely, the constituent quark mass and the confinement scale, are fixed by a previous calculation of the magnetic moments of the baryon octet within the same model. We discuss the momentum dependence of the form factors, possible configuration mixing, and SU(3) symmetry breaking. We conclude that the relativistic constituent quark model is a good framework to analyze electroweak properties of the baryons.
