Magna Carta (Great Charter) was originally a peace agreement between King John and a number of rebel feudal lords (barons), signed and agreed at a meadow at Runnymede in Surrey in 1215.
Gradualism, from Latin gradus (âstepâ), is a hypothesis, a theory or a tenet assuming that change comes about gradually or that variation is gradual in nature.Similar concepts are: uniformitarianism, incrementalism and reformism.n the natural sciences, gradualism is the theory which holds that profound change is the cumulative product of slow but continuous processes, often contrasted with catastrophism.
The modern synthesis emphasizes: The importance of populations as the units of evolution. The central role of natural selection as the most important mechanism of adaptive evolution. The idea of gradualism to explain how large changes can evolve as an accumulation of small changes over long periods of time.
