The photo- and electroproduction of baryon resonances are calculated in the constituent quark model with chromodynamics of Isgur and Karl consistently to {ital O}({ital v}{sup 2}/{ital c}{sup 2}) for the quarks. We find that the successes of the nonrelativistic quark model are preserved, some problems are removed, and QCD mixing effects may become important with increasing {ital q}{sup 2} in electroproduction. For the first time both spectroscopy and transitions receive a unified treatment within the framework of a potential quark model.
