  The sum rules serve a powerful tool to study the nucleon structure by
providing a bridge between the statical properties of the nucleon (such as
electrical charge, and magnetic moment) and the dynamical properties (e.g. the
transition amplitudes to excited states) in a wide range of energy and momentum
transfer $Q^2$. We study the generalized sum rules of the nucleon in the
framework of the constituent quark model. We use two different CQM, the one
with the hypercentral potential \cite{hccqm1}, \cite{hccqm2}, \cite{hccqm3},
and with the harmonic oscillator potential \cite{KI}, both with only few
parameters fixed to the baryonic spectrum. We confront our results to the model
independent sum rules and to the predictions of the phenomenological MAID
\cite{MAID} model and find that in all the cases considered, in the
intermediate $Q^2$ range (0.2-1.5 GeV$^2$), both CQM models provide a good
description of the sum rules on the neutron.
