The British gov't works like Canada's. Acts and bills originate in the House of Commons, where they are then sent to the Senate. The senate acts as "a sober second thought" and advises changes which may need to be made. If there are no issues, then the bill is forwarded to the Queen who has the final say. She then signs the bill, and it becomes a law.

The British government felt that the colonies were rightfully theirs and a part of the British Empire. When the colonies began to increase their independence from Britain, the government pushed back with stricter laws, taxes, and regulations. The tension that built as a result of this eventually erupted into protests like the Boston Tea Party and violent incidents like the Boston Massacre, all of which contributed to the conflict that became the Revolutionary War

What would have happened if parliament would have repealed the intolerable acts?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