The power of law comes from the ability, to confiscate things, kick in doors and arrest people. Usually there is some social consensus such that most comply anyway most of the time.
This is true and always and trumps whatever your software says is meaningless if there is any conflict ("you and what army" is a very valid question.
Now, the law (a court) can of course allow your software and might even enforce a contract bases on your software
In good systems the governed people have a say in how those laws are created. In Bad ones it's literally whatever one person mutters with a mouth full of breakfast cereals and headaches.

This will happen sooner in functioning states and later in bad ones.
