How was Massachusetts punished for the tea party?

Basically what she did was blocked their ocean traffic and the they passed what they called the justice bill. The Bostonians it as "The intolerable act" Because they had been cut off from most town held meetings, also, the British did not bring them food or clothing, until the tea they had dumbed had been paid for. (Mind you, the tea was expensive, and they dumped chests full!) They relied on other colonies and such for food and clothing.

How was the patriots point of view right in the Intolerable Acts?

Many patriots viewed the Intolerable Acts (known as the Coercive Acts in the United Kingdom) as unjustified and infuriating punishments. They believed that they had done no wrong in protesting Parliament's taxes. Though in reality very few colonists supported the Boston Tea Party (most thought of it as a degrading extremist act and Benjamin Franklin stressed that the tea should be repaid in full), they believed it was unfair of the British Crown to punish the whole of Massachusetts for the acts of a minority group. In contrast, the British government thought the Acts were more than justified due to the "appalling event" of having over £90,000 (about USD $1,529,052 today) of British tea dumped into the water. Parliament believed the colonists were clearly in the wrong and should reimburse the loss.

What would have happened if parliament would have repealed the intolerable acts?

We may or may not have been still part of England. The intolerable acts were a part of why we disliked England, and wanted independence, but not all. We also felt disrespected, and like we were lower class than the British. We still most likely would have British tropes in the colonies, no representation in Parliament, and they most likely would have passed more acts and taxes that would have made us angry. On the contrary, if there were not the intolerable acts, we may not have been mad enough to start a war, and if we did, have enough people to support and fight in the war.
