It is derived from an ancient concept that all land belongs to the king and the king can take it back. In most cases the property owner's protest or consent is immaterial. Taking by eminent domain is used routinely to widen and relocate roads. The taking may be in fee or may be only a taking of easement rights. The property owner should receive a fair compensation for the land so taken. You may protest the taking but it is unlikely that you would succeed in halting the highway project.
