It would seem that the major differences in ALT Laws are:-

ALT1:
Pitch attitude (Θ) protection lost.
Hi Speed and Stall speed are alternate.

ALT1A:
As ALT1 but Stall protection is lost.

ALT2:
As ALT1 but lateral normal law is lost and replaced by
lateral alternate (Roll = DIRECT; Yaw = Alternate)

ALT2A:
As ALT2 (Stall protection is lost)

ALT2B:
Pitch attitude (Θ) protection lost.
Hi Speed and Stall protection lost.
Bank angle protection lost

Source - A33Zab in AF447 Thread No.6, and in

ALT2B no Hi and Lo speed stability (= VMO2/ Vc prot),

as explained earlier in this thread.
