What do you mean by anarchy, doma?
Anarchy is the state of rulelessness that you describe. Your freedom implies anarchy. It has no distinction from it. It has no limits.
We know the consequence of anarchy. Which is chaos and rule by the most powerful individuals.
Law is its cure. Magna Carta and the English regicide both affirm the principle that the sovereign is subject to law and not above it.
Laws are always made or influenced by the powerful.
In democratic countries, government is intended to serve the majority of people and therefore to supplant the interest of minority power-brokers. As we both know, power tends to dispute the priority of the popular will.
Seems to me your free will principle looks nice on paper but fails almost universally in experience.
There's a reason for this. People have competing interests. Law is required to resolve our differences.
To me, Americans worship the wrong God. It isn't freedom which makes a stable society. It is the trustworthy and even-handed administration of the law in the service of maximising happiness.
