Expulsion from law tracks who is deemed unworthy of polity membership

Evidence

Buscetta says he was expelled (posato) from the mafia because he was divorced and had had extramarital relationships. He adds that, “although one is forbidden even to speak to the man of honor who has been expelled, it can happen that, if he is considered an important person and if the expulsion is considered excessive, the other men of honor may take the personal responsibility of continuing to deal with him as if nothing had happened” (TB: III, 43). — Diego Gambetta, The Sicilian Mafia The Business of…, 924 (#complicates, via linked claim)
