You can create the [American and French] nationality, I suppose. Arguments can be made both for and against this, but without serious table-mangling, it would be hard to make a 1:n relationship where 1:1 exists (as is the case, I believe, in constituent : nationality). It is semantically different enough in my opinion to justify the creation of an additional entry into nationalities. It makes searching a little more difficult, but I suppose the crux of the argument really is whether or not a search for 'American' should turn up 'American and French'. Hope that helps.
