Representation in Congress means that your State, District, County has a person that is in Congress on there to watch out for their right's, freedom's, and need's.
This representation is meant to ensure that your right's would not be infringed (lessened, or taken away) without your knowledge and agreement.
This is why it is so important that when you hear a member of Congress say: "I don't care what the people of my State, or District, say. I will do as I want." That you ensure that you do everything in your legal power to have them removed from office. Your voice is the only difference between this Constitutional Republic and any oppressive government.
...very little.

Is Representation in the Constitution based upon statehood and each state's population?
I'm assuming you mean in Congress, the only branch where each state is individually represented. Yes, representation in the House of Representatives is based upon population, but there is a fixed number of representatives at 435, meaning that, with changing population, states could lose or gain seats in the House. However, representation in the Senate is equal for all states with 2 senators each. Territories do not have representation in Congress, though Washington, D.C. has a non-voting delegation to Congress.
