Did the Warren Court support an activist government?

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.

What does it mean to have representation in congress?

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.
