A formalism is developed, which provides a comparative analysis of the covariant amplitudes in various representations and nonrelativistic wave functions. The magnetic and quadrupole moments of the deuteron are calculated in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism and the role of relativistic corrections is discussed.33 pages ([aps]{revtex} style), 9 Postscript figures; (55 pages if [preprint,aps]{revtex} style is used)Nuclear Theorytext
