When I was a kid (I'm 48) the "will of the people" in my state was to slap "Whites Only" signs on drinking fountains, restrooms, restaurants, etc... it was not a vote of the people that ended it. The Supreme Court ended school segregation in October '69, against "the will of the people". Were those "activist" judges? Were they wrong?
