The later.
How is the former going to know the wishes of his consituency? He'll likely only hear the opinion of a smal very vocal minorty, which is likely the people with the strongest feelings about the subject at hand. And I don't want him voting based on the wishes of a few extreme opinions.
If there were a way for him to hear the opinions of all his constituents, then his position as an elected representative would be moot, since every issue could be put to a vote.
