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 Gradual, like the Alleluia and Tract, is one of the responsorial chants of the Mass. Responsorial chants derive from early Christian traditions of singing choral refrains called responds between psalm verses.
