Can title vii override the employment environment and conditions detailed in a written employent contract between an employer and a employee?

Title VII is a federal law and an employment agreement, whether verbal or written, must conform to the law. Correct - no contract can violate a statute; any clause that did so would be void. Individual and union employment contracts can never waive Title VII rights. But individual contracts can provide an alternate dispute resolution process, parallel to EEOC investigation, and denying the employee any right to sue in court. UNION contracts can't do that. [See Gilmer v. Interstate Johnson-Lane]

How can a contract law overrides a constitution?

No, contracts cannot override the Constitution. You cannot contract to do something illegal. Any agreement that violates the Constitution would be considered illegal. NO, any such contract would be considered VOID and unenforcable. Just meaningless paper, not a violation of the law. And remember, the Constitution applies to, and limits ONLY governments, not private parties. Could your corporate employer offer you a contract that limits your freedom of speech? Certainly, almost all employers do so. No government could have such a contract or policy.

Does Oklahoma State Law override a Last Will and Testament?

A Last Will and Testament has authority and legitimacy in any jurisdiction because and only because it has been made legitimate by the laws of that jurisdiction. That is, for a Will to be considered valid in Oklahoma, it must conform to Oklahoma law. The law does not override the Will because the will has no effect without the law in the first place.
