In this paper an attempt is made to understand the passage from the exact quantum treatment of the CGHS theory to the semi-classical physics discussed by many authors. We find first that to the order of accuracy to which Hawking effects are calculated in the theory, it is inconsistent to ignore correlations in the dilaton gravity sector. Next the standard Dirac or BRST procedure for implementing the constraints is followed. This leads to a set of physical states, in which however the semi-classical physics of the theory seems to be completely obscured. As an alternative, we construct a coherent state formalism, which is the natural framework for understanding the semi-classical calculations, and argue that it satisfies all necessary requirements of the theory, provided that there exist classical ghost configurations which solve an infinite set of equations. If this is the case it may be interpreted as a spontaneous breakdown of general covariance.
