[For part I see ibid. 39, 43-76 (1985; Zbl 0551.05033).] A matroid property P is inherited if all minors of a matroid M have P provided M has P. Two decomposition theorems of Part I of the paper are utilized to characterize minimal violation matroids of inherited properties. Hence, among other potentially useful theorems, the well- known minimal violation matroids for graphicness, planarity and regularity are obtained.
