There’s a reason why this phrase is repeated twice in the Bible: Every man did that which was right in his own eyes (Judges 17:6 and 21:25; alluded to in Proverbs 21:2). There is no freedom without the right kind of laws.

Proverbs 1:18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

I call this the argument from Thermodynamics.

I think I remember that G-d warned His people against having a King, and also decreed that the King should live by the same laws as the people.
