Civil rights and land ownership is a broad topic. Consider the following:
In countries that allow private ownership of land the rights of the owners are often misunderstood. The likely cause is that the history and concept of private land ownership is relatively recent and very fractured, coming to the United States via England and English Common Law.
Many groups are currently fixated on the idea that as part of their civil rights a person has sovereign control over their own land, that the government has no right to impose property taxes and that an owner can do whatever they want to with their private property. They fail to acknowledge the abundance of long standing federal, state and local laws that affect the use and ownership of real property. The government has authority to take land from the legal owner and take rights in that land. Property taxes were authorized by laws enacted by elected officials whom we have chosen to represent us in government.
The government can take possession of your land or take rights in your land for a public purpose as long as you are compensated. Town government can limit use by zoning, control what you can and cannot build by building codes, prohibit certain items from being stored on your property under hazardous material restrictions, require you to keep it clear of refuse under health laws, and prohibit the keeping of farm animals in city settings. It can prohibit you from cultivating marijuana. It can demolish a condemned building on your property and make you pay. It can take possession of your property and sell it if you don't pay property taxes. This is only a brief survey of the government's rights to control your private property.
Those government rights still leave the property owner with many rights and much control over their property. In fact, real property ownership is considered by many as an ownership of rights in the land- not the land itself. Most important of those rights are the right to control, right to possession, rights to the profits therefrom and the right to dispose by sale or by Will. The government protects those rights (such protection being funded by taxes). You have the right to privacy and the right to be protected from trespass. The government cannot enter your home without a warrant issued by a judge.

Do you really own land or just rights to use land?
That depends on where you live. In the United States we have a system of private land ownership. You can sell your land and keep the money or leave it to your beneficiaries by your will. If you die intestate (without a will) the land will pass to your heirs at law under the state laws of intestacy. No one can take the land away from you unless the taking is done under the provisions of the law. Many other countries have private land ownership. There are countries that do not have systems of private land ownership. China is a good example. There is no system for private land ownership in China. The state took control of all the land during the Communist takeover in 1949. Communist Party officials control land usage rights. However, there is a system of usage rights granted in the land.

Yes. When landowners grant an easement they are effectively selling some portion of their ownership rights in that land, so they can't sell the easement.

So, while ownership of the land transfers, ownership of the easement rights remains with the easement owner.
