Who are Americans? Grammatically speaking American is the noun. We have White Americans, Black Americans, Italian Americans, Jewish Americans, etc. We had American Indians but that was changed to Native Americans, thereby incorporating the Indian within American identity affiliation creating the term Native American. So presently we have many tribes within the description of American. If we eliminate the Constitution, we eliminate the definition of American and we have created a war among the people to determine who becomes the "ruling class".
