This phrase means that were there is no law, tyranny and oppression will result. It supports the similar concept of "rule of law," where written laws control people's behavior, not the whims of a strongman ruler. It means that the law is the safeguard of our lives, liberty, and property. It is our protector and shield.

So again, "where law ends, tyranny begins" means that the law protects people from the dominion of others.
