Not only did the nation of Israel not yet have a king, but everyone lived as if they had no guidance or leadership. If you read the next part of that sentence as recorded in the Book of Judges, you'll see the meaning: "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25 New American Standard Version).
The days when God sent judges (leaders) to intervene in Israel's history were days when the people forgot the leadership of God and lived like they had no leadership. They needed strong leaders from God (the judges) to guide them back to strength and to faithfulness.
The correct answer is the 14th Amendment.
It states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Specifically, your referenced quote is known as the "Equal Protection Clause"
