The Edirne succession occurred between 19 August to 23 August. Under Mustafa, Istanbul had been out of control for a long time.  As arrests and executions mounted, theft and robbery incidents became common. The people were dissatisfied with the poor governing of the Empire.{{sfn|Sakaoğlu|2015|p=297}} Mustafa was deposed by the Janissaries and Ahmed, who succeeded him to the throne on 22 August 1703. The first Friday salute was held in Bayezid Mosque.<ref>Sakaoğlu, Necdet (2015) ''Bu mülkün sultanları''</ref>

Fındıklılı Mehmed Ağa welcomed the new sultan at the Harem gate on the Hasoda side, entered the arm, brought him to the Cardigan-i Saadet Department and placed them on the throne, and were among the first to pay tribute to him.{{sfn|Türkal|2013|p=31}}

As part of the fief system, Ahmed reorganized the land law in 1705. Bringing order to land ownership reduced the crime wave and brought peace to the troubled Empire. Due to his ardent support of the new laws, Ahmed was given the title 'law-giver', a title given to only three sultans earlier, [[Bayezid II]] (r. 1481–1512), [[Selim I]] (r. 1512–1520) and [[Suleiman the Magnificent|Suleiman I]] (r. 1520–1566). In the first three years of his reign, Ahmed appointed four separate Grand Viziers. However, the government only gained some stability after the appointment of [[Çorlulu Ali Pasha]] in May 1706.{{sfn|Keskiner|2012|p=56}}
