Abstract
As a continuation of the preceding paper in which the quantum relativistic rotator was described within the framework of quantum constrained Hamiltonian mechanics, here its simplest representation spaces are derived. They are shown to be discrete direct sums of irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group, which shows that hadrons can be interpreted as different mass-spin levels of a quantum relativistic rotator.
