Definition of just acquisition of property · Person is entitled to property if they acquired in accordance with the two principles

And, if the property was acquired from someone else who owned it, that person also had to have acquired the property in accordance with the two principles.

Unjust ownership · Some people get property without following the two principles

Principle of rectification · Return property to whoever would have been true owner had the two principles of justice been followed

We can use historical information to learn about theft/fraud and figure out who the true owner should be.

Potential argument · Europeans took land from Native Americans, so the land should be returned

(Note that this seems related to the principle of rectification from Passage A. Also, the author doesn't necessarily believe in this argument. By introducing the argument with the language "one natural (one might almost say obvioups way of reasoning," the author is separate the argument form his own opinion. He may or may not agree with the argument; we can't tell.)
