Declaration of Independence

In my opinion, the Declaration of Independence was written because of selfish causes or, in other words, with economic purposes. This ones may have been inspired by the bourgeoisie and members of the upper-class, who needed the support of the lower-class. But, what evidences do we have to get to this statement?
First of all, it is no difficult to imagine a bourgeoisie desirous of power, moreover, they had many reasons to promote a rebellion against England as we can see in their grievances, such as the cut off of trade with the rest of the world.
Furthermore, we can observe evidences of the trying of the upper-class to persuade lower-class in that grievances as well and in the Declaration of Independence. For example, it is important to standout that they were written by white and privilaged men, using an inspiring language to call all classes to rebellion and to wake up patriotic feelings.
However, this determination of the bourgeoisie to persuade lower-class might have been only the result of their desire of gaining power over the govermen, for what they needed support.
As a conclusion, I can afirm that the reason of the writing of the Declaration of Independence is that priviladge classes needed the support of the lower-class to rebolt and this way gain control over goverments.

Here are links to the Declaration of Independence in which there can be observed the aspects I previously mentioned.
