The rule of the Law was important as without a system to retrain absolute freedom in society there would be chaos and anarchy would prevail.
Well, this is a VERY broad question and the answer could fill books. So to try to keep it short and sweet, if we didn't have a relatively uniform set of laws to govern our interactions with one another:
1. we might have to rely on a person (king) or group of people (committee) to make decisions that could vary from person to person and situation to situation arbitrarily because one day the king likes you and the next day he wants to take your head off....
2. everyone or multiple groups of people would have to establish their own rules of conduct and because those sets of rules could conflict with each other, you could have chaos or anarchy. That also can happen because people no restraints against their personal conduct and are not accountable to anyone for anything.
Hence, "rule of law" provides some possibility for a relatively cohesive set of rules of conduct for a society to rely upon so that human interaction, trade and commerce can function, if not actually flourish.
Of course there are some forms of government where rule of law is so strict or oppressive that there is no "freedom", but the idea is that if everyone is subject to the same miserable rules, at least they are consistent and uniform and you can't suggest differential treatment (discrimination). Alternatively rule of law can be so lax that some groups wind up reaping most of the benefits and others reap few or none because there is no impetus for social justice or economic reform.
If we didn't have laws the whole country would be full of violence
Laws are important in many ways! One major reason on why it is important is because without laws no one would be in control and lots of bad stuff will occur in the world such as murdering, raping, and kidnapping! So in that case laws are really important!
Added: SHORT ANSWER: Without the rule of law, ANARCHY would ensue and civilization, as we know it, would collapse.
