I think you mean, did the Warren Court make activist interpretations of the Constitution.
This is a highly politicized issue. I'm not even sure one can get the opposing parties in this discussion to agree on the meaning of the terms, but . . .
I would say those who support activist interpretation would tell you they are interpreting the intent of the words in the Constitution in the context of today's world rather than the world as it was over 200 years ago. I'll call the other side originalists. I think the originalists would say they are interpreting the Constitution as it was written originally and in the context of the time it was written.
Given these meanings both sides might agree the Warren Court made activitist interpretations. But, the two sides would disagree on whether the originalists were really following the original intent.
I would say the neither side is doing what they claim -- and that both are interpreting the Constitution to suit their political biases with no consistent philosophy.

Did the change from the Warren Court to the Burger Court affect a basic shift in the role of the Supreme Court in American society?
Not really. Both the Warren and Burger Courts were considered liberal and activist, although the liberal Warren Court gradually shifted toward a more conservative posture as Republican Presidents made new appointments. Chief Justice Earl Warren strongly believed in civil rights, egalitarianism, and in extending Constitutional protection to those traditionally excluded from full participation in our society, and this general trend continued under Chief Justice Warren Burger, at least in the early years of his tenure. The big change came during the Rehnquist Court, after a succession of Republican Presidents had opportunities to fill vacancies on the Court. This shifted the tenor of the Court toward conservative, where it remains today (and probably will for years to come, due to the conservative faction being younger and healthier than most of the liberal faction).
