For unless...?

Dear teacher,
For unless all the citizens of a state are forced by circumstances to compromise, unless they feel that they can affect policy but that no one can wholly dominate it, unless by habit and necessity they have to give and take, freedom cannot be maintained.
Q : "For unless..." is odd to me. How can a preposition "for" be placed before a conjunction "unless"?
All the best, :)
