I have had great latitude to address this subject.


Explanation:
I am sure of this translation, but that does not mean I am suggesting it is the only possible translation. I am offering a complete sentence because I am not sure how the adverb "extensively" would be used as a translation of the phrase "tener mucha amplitud". I would like to read a full sentence translation of this. I believe that the Spanish expresses the concept of having opportunity to speak extensively, not simply only speaking extensively.
