^^^ Perfectly stated by GP above. It's a legal requirement that can be met with Chains or Cables. You don't want a LOT of slack, but enough to steer and handle dips/bumps in the road. I've been using coiled cables. Recently got a different tow bar with straight cables running through guides on its arms.
Which ever you use, chain or cable should be crossed under the hitch on the towing vehicle. That way if the towed unit comes loose, the front of the tow bar is less likely to dig into the road and send the towed vehicle into a pole vault.
And, yes, braking system, to include a break-away capability.
