میرزا احمد خان معتضدالدوله وزیر٫ فرزند میرزا ابولقاسم وزیر٫ در سال ۱۲۵۵ شمسی در شهر کرمانشاه چشم بر جهان گشود.
در آن هنگام هر استان دارای یک حکمران یا به مفهوم امروزی استاندار بود (که تنها شاهزادگان قاجار این پست را دریافت می کردند) و مقام دوم آن استان پست وزارت اش بود. معتضدالدوله در ادامه راه اجداد خود٫ وزیر استان کرمانشاهان (که در آن زمان استان های کرمانشاه و همدان امروزی را شامل می شد) منصوب شد.
ایشان نقش مهمی در نهضت مشروطه ایران داشت.
وی موٌسس یکی از اولین و پیشرفته ترین مدارس خصوصی استان کرمانشاهان که مدرسه ملی شرافت نامیده می شد و توسط میرزا محمد خان وزیری اداره می شد٫ بود.
در سال ۱۳۲۶ ه.ق (۱۲۸۶ ه.ش)٫ وی عضو انجمن معارف مدرسه حقوق در کرمانشاه با مدیریت مرحوم محمدباقر میرزا خسروی بود.
وی اولین چاپخانه استان کرمانشاهان و یکی از اولین چاپخانه های ایران را به نام چاپخانه شرافت احمدی در سال ۱۲۸۸ تاسیس کرد. این چاپخانه مجهز به حروف سربی و کادر فنی بود که در ایران آن روز کم نظیر بود.
تاسیس این چاپخانه منجر به انتشار اولین روزنامه کرمانشاه (روزنامه کرمانشاه) گردید٫ که در حمایت از آزادی٫ روشنگری٫ و در کل نهضت مشروطه فعالیت می کرد.
به دلیل مقابله او با استبداد حکومتی و به سبب طرفداری از انقلاب مشروطه٫ املاک و عمارت وی که حاصل بیش از یک قرن زندگی اشرافی بود٫ دستخوش چپاول و غارت گردید.
اما معتضدالدوله برای ملحق شدن به مشروطه خواهان سراسر کشور از جمله شاهزاده عبدالحسين ميرزا فرمانفرما٫ راهی تهران شد. همزمان یکی از عوامل حکومتی ملقب به سالارالدوله برای متوقف کردن چاپخانه شرافت احمدی به کرمانشاه رفت. هنگامی که معنضدالدوله متوجه این خبر شد٫ به کرمانشاه بازگشت و دوباره چاپخانه خود را به راه انداخت.
در سال های ۱۳۳۵-۳۶ قمری قحطی و خوشکسالی این استان را فرا گرفته بود. میرزا احمد خان در آن زمان انبار خود ۱۵۰۰ خروار (برابر با تقریبا ۵۰ میلیون تومان در سال ۱۳۷۳ شمسی) گندم داشت٫ که تمامی آن را به مردم محترم کرمانشاه که آذوقه نداشتند در راه خدا به آن ها بخشید.
در سال های آخر عمر اش به خاطر داشتن شخصیت برجسته و بافضیلت٫ به نمایندگی مجلی شورای ملی توسط مردم این شهر برگزیده شد و سرانجام در زمانی که نمایندکی دوره پنجم مجلس را در سال ۱۳۰۰ شمسی داشت در اثر سکته قلبی در تهران درگذشت و در صحن حضرت عبدالعظیم دفن گردید.
امروزه بقایا منزل ایشان در کرمانشاه در لیست اثار باستانی ملی به ثبت رسیده است.
Mirza Ahmad Khan "Motazed-Dowleh" Vaziri (1869-1924), Mirza Abolqassem "Vazir"'s son, was the Vizier of the province of Kermanshahan and later a Member of Parliament in the First Majles. He was titled "M'otazed-al-Dowleh" (defender of the State) by a Qajar king.
He was one of the great names in the Freedom movement occured in Persia.
He founded the first private school of Kermanshah called "Madreseye Mellie Sheraafat", under the direction of Mirza Mohammad Khan Vaziri.
In 1905, Prince Mohammad Bagher Mirza Khosravi founded the school of Law of Kermanshah and appointed Motazed-Dowleh as one of its principals.
He also created the first printing office of Kermanshah called "Chaap Khaaneye Sheraafate Ahmadi". Furthermore he imported the engines from India, which put Kermanshah in the same level as Tehran, Tabriz and Shiraz. This printing office led to the creation of the first newspaper of Kermanshah in 1906 called "Rooznaameye Kermanshah", which was under the direction of Seyyed Hedayatollah Fasih o Motokallemin. The newspaper had intellectual contents which helped the development of democratic ideas and was later forbidden by Salar-ol-Dowleh.
He also helped the development of the project of books by Prince Mohammad Bagher Mirza Khosravi like "Shams o Tagra", "Ghassed e Soltani", "Divaane Mohammad Bagher Mirza Khosravi", "Makhsane Laali", "Shabaabe Kermanshahi", "Shahnameye Laahooti", etc.
He was a freemason. Moreover due to the fights directed by him for freedom and democracy against the existing dictatorship, his estates were often attacked. When Salar-ed-Dowleh (against constitutionalism) came to Kermanshah, Vaziri was obliged to go to Tehran, with Mirza Ali Khan Sartip and other important constitutionalists of Kermanshah to ally and become a leader in the Constitutional Revolution with the constitutionalists and liberals of Tehran, notably Prince Farmanfarma. Salar-ed-Dowleh closed the printing office of Ahmad but the latter didn't accept it and went back from Tehran to open another one.
Motazed-Dowleh gave all the money he had to finance freedom, modernity, to develop the Persian culture and to help people. In 1914 during the First World War, there was a famine in Persia and Motazed-Dowleh gave a great part of the wheat he had in his cellars and his money to people who needed it (this wheat was worth 250,000 toman of his time which is equal to today's 2.5 million dollars). Farajollah Motamedi reported that people wanted to sell their houses, so Motazed-Dowleh bought them (20 houses) for high prices and told his son (Motazed-Dowleh 2nd) to return them to the former owners after his death, because if he hadn't done it, people would have sold and lost them for ever. He also reported that when he dined at Motazed-Dowleh's home, Motazed cried and didn't want to eat because he was ashamed of doing it while people were starving. Motazed-Dowleh also gave his main mansion to his eldest son while he was still alive, and slept in a small house in Tehran. Thanks to his philanthropic character and his virtues, he was elected to be a Member of the first Parliament of Persia during its fourth term. The other representatives of Kermanshah were Prince Shahzadeh Nosrated-Dowleh Firouz, Fatollah Khan Nassir o Divan and Ali Khan Zangeneh Amir-o-kol. While in Tehran, he married a second wife who was the cousin of Nassereddin Shah's second favorite wife (Anis-ed-Dowleh). This marriage was actually an alliance with the court to have more power in the Revolution. When he went back to Kermanshah, his first wife, who was also his cousin, prayed and begged God to kill her before her husband saw her and became ashamed. She died just before he arrived. Motazed-Dowleh died of an infarct in 1923.
His mansion is today classified as a historical monument.
