Abstract: The axial charges of the nucleon and the well-established ${N}^{*}$ resonances are studied within a consistent framework. For the first time the axial charges of the ${N}^{*}$ resonances are produced for the relativistic constituent quark model. The axial charge of the nucleon is predicted close to experiment, and the ones of ${N}^{*}(1535)$ and ${N}^{*}(1650)$, the only cases where such a comparison is possible, agree well with results from quantum chromodynamics on the lattice that have recently become available. The relevance of the magnitudes of the ${N}^{*}$ axial charges for the low-energy behavior of quantum chromodynamics is discussed.
