Solution

1. Leadership style of James Wilson was Democratic. He believed in collective decision making and taking others point of view in account. At a time, when british government used to take all decisions for the American colonies and used to pass law as per their convinience, he opposed the system and in his paper \"Considerations on the Nature and Extent of the Legislative Authority of the British Parliament\" he claime that the Parliament had no authority to pass laws for the American colonies because the colonies had no representation in Parliament. It presented his views that all power derived from the people. Also during his days with \"Committee of detail\" to form the first draft of the U.S. constitution, he voiced the importance of senators and presidents to be elected with appropriate representation. These initial views Wilson actually founded the cornerstones of a constitution that are well represented and this makes him standout among all the founding fathers of U.S. constitution.

2. Wilson was obviously one of the change agent who initiated the process of change to a well-represented parliamentary system against an autonomic one that was in place.
