Οι Αμερικανοί είναι υπήκοοι και πολίτες των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών της Αμερικής.[47] Αν και οι πολίτες συνθέτουν την πλειοψηφία των Αμερικανών, ορισμένοι διπλοί πολίτες, ομογενείς και μόνιμοι κάτοικοι μπορούν επίσης να διεκδικήσουν αμερικανική υπηκοότητα.[48][49] Οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες φιλοξενούν ανθρώπους πολλών διαφορετικών εθνικών προελεύσεων. Ως αποτέλεσμα, ο αμερικανικός πολιτισμός και δίκαιο δεν εξισώνεται με την εθνικότητα, τη φυλή ή την εθνότητα, αλλά με την υπηκοότητα και τη μόνιμη αφοσίωση.[50][51][52]

Οι ομιλητές της αγγλικής γλώσσας, ακόμη και ομιλητές πολλών άλλων γλωσσών, συνήθως χρησιμοποιούν τον όρο "Αμερικανοί" για να σημαίνουν αποκλειστικά τους ανθρώπους των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών. Αυτό αναπτύχθηκε από την αρχική χρήση του όρου για να διαφοροποιήσει τους Άγγλους των αμερικανικών αποικιών από τους Άγγλους της Αγγλίας.[53] Ο όρος Αμερικανός μπορεί να αναφερθεί και για άτομα από την Αμερικανική ήπειρο[54].

...from Thomas Paine's plea in 1783...to Henry Clay's remark in 1815... "It is hard for us to believe ... how conscious these early Americans were of the job of developing American character out of the regional and generational polaritities and contradictions of a nation of immigrants and migrants." ... To be or to become an American, a person did not have to be of any particular national, linguistic, religious, or ethnic background. All he had to do was to commit himself to the political ideology centered on the abstract ideals of liberty, equality, and republicanism. Thus the universalist ideological character of American nationality meant that it was open to anyone who willed to become an American.
