a wide range of laws are drafted
In English one DRAFTS legislation (and CONCEIVES ideas or babies). Considerable range is ok, but "wide range" is more frequent.
ALSO: It should be "uma gama ... é" and "a wide range ... is" I think.

a large number of laws are made
"a large number of laws are made" simplifica a leitura.
Outra tradução poderia ser "a considerable number of laws are elaborated"

wide range has NOTHING to do with QUALITY. Gama considerável refers to NUMBER. I'm portuguese, I should know!

..from which a considerable series of laws are proposed..
..from which a considerable series of laws are drafted..
gama = range, series
laws are drafted and then proposed for consideration
gama = range, series

: "series" implies a connection that "range" does not. also, in US, laws are proposed BEFORE being drafted

original is 'elaboradas' which says neither that they are proposed or drafted. Elaborar = prepare, work out in detail

a wide range of laws is drafted
Further to Steve's suggestion: It should be 'a wide range...is' not 'are'.
(I tried to put it under Steve's suggestion, as I didn't want to steal his thunder, but proz wouldn't let me agree AND disagree with the same posting!)
